    Buying a new monitor w/this freebie--do u have any thoughts on the

    NEC Multi sinc LCD205 WNXM-BK20.1 Widescreen Black Flat panel LCD monitor w/height adj stand. $366.00

    there's another one w/o the adj stand @ $239.

    Will be using this 1530 as a desktop w/this monitor.

    Should I be looking for anything tricky when adding this monitor?

    Thanks very much. mt9

    started purchase of 1330 in december - had to return - then moved to 1530.

    didn't expect a gift card but it showed up in mail. my purchase must have been within their parameters.

    I'd go with the cheaper dell monitor... nothing tricky really..

    I bought a 17" for $139 off my gift card with a wireless desktop from M$oft...
