Default Is this monitor any good?
I am ready to buy a new monitor. The one here is $159.99 which just barely fits in my price range of $150. has good specs, 3000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time. Is it worth the price? Are these good monitors?

i am ready to buy today since I just sold my 2 monitors from before and I cannot use my computer until i buy a new one.

For comparison, here is another one in the price range but only has a 700:1 contrast ratio.

If I had to pick up a 22"inch monitor, I would definitely get this 1:

Nice

But by the time I pay $18 to have Unruly Package Smashers ship it, It's over budget.
I was specifically asking about that monitor because Frys is local and I can have it today.

Nice monitor though

No thoughts? Guess I'll roll the dice and see how it works out.

^^ So I did. Scored a Samsung 19" Widescreen LCD for $159. But ended up spending over $240 by the time I walked out the door.
