    Anyone heard of them or have one? They are in the US so i think thats better than the one son ebay for RMA reasons but only 1 year warranty :/

    Also with overclocking a screen will that help "on and off" refresh rates? I have a u2412m and i hate the ghosting when surfing the web. When you drag the screen down it blurs. Also games like total war, king Arthur, and RTSs where things slowly move across the screen completely blur out. I don't even think a TN 120hz screen really does a much better job i bet. I have looked at the tn central reviews of a 120hz screen and they look marginally better than the u2412m and the likes, which is sad. Makes me want to buy a modern say CRT for those games ^^


    ack they have 42 dollar shipping :/

    interesting. I see there is another site called monoprice too...anyone have any experience with these places?

    yea monoprice has them too and they have 10-20% coupons on and off check retailmenot and other places...keep my eyes open when the 27 inch comes in stock...can't justify yet the 30 inch screen even though i hate the 27 inch it is still better than nothing. Wish 300-400 bucks i could justify for the epic screen but whatever

    I have picked up many things from monoprice and the site is great (bought speakers, many cables, power outlet). The downside is that you always have to pay for shipping and shipping could take a week.

    I have bought from Monoprice many times and have had good experiences with them (bought speakers, and audio cables, and computer cables and networking equipment from them).
