Found an in store special ...

19.1" wide screen LCD monitor for $189.99 and an instant $90 rebate.

Now, it's an 8ms, 500:1 contrast ratio, so it's not a gamer monitor, but it's great for FRRAXing.

See, I knew I shouldn't have let you use my monitors when you were in Ohio.....(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I wish I'd found a deal like that when I bought mine. I finally decided they came down enough to buy a couple, and I think they were just under $400 each at the time..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) If I'd realized that they'd be "free" in another year or so, I'd have waited.

That's what the "dude" was telling me.

I see no ghosting as I scroll down the forum thread ...

Any chance if it was a one day deal?

I have to go to BBY to get the girlfriend a Dane Cook DVD tomorrow and I wouldn't mind walking out with one of these to replace my 4 yr old 17" LCD... that will last forever if I do buy it or crap out next week if I don't (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
