Considering you have an IPS display, a TFT one isn't really worth it. Also consider that your monitor already has a similar resolution with a higher pixel density. If you want to "scam" (I'm not implying that you're a criminal, it's the only word that came to my mind) and make money by "using" him, then, it's worth buying it from him.

Those aren't IPS displays, TFT before they went to IPS.

EDIT1: He also has a 27" Dell Ultrasharp 2709w for $350!! eek.gif
Here's a pic. The story: It had belonged to a legally blind man whos family was friends with my friends parents. He just needed huge text with screen real estate.
There are no dead pixels/screen anomalies and the pic looks phenomenal at 1600p. thumb.gifthumb.gif

I bought it, and its HUGE w/ my 27" iMac for scale. Definition of an impuse buy but it was a HELLA deal!!.... I just dont know what to do with it.... ! Ideas?

How are the viewing angles and such? I'd keep it!
