    Meh. It's not that great for a deal. Sure. It's a nice LCD. But there are way cheaper 24 inch LCD's out there. Some for just over $100.

    Are Dell monitors at the same level as Samsung or NEC? I have had a few Dell monitors at work and they were terrible.

    But this was really a good price. Was tempted, but will hold out till I build my next PC, probably in a couple of years. :)

    Ok. I clearly stated that it is ANOTHER LCD just over $100. Anyways. Here you go. Not 24 inch but close enough.

    Has the same response time and a much better contrast ratio. Also has speakers built in.

    Its resolution puts it in an entirely different category. Under $300 for a quality WUXGA is a great deal but yeah plenty of WSXGA+'s go for under $200 every day.
