    Looks like a very decent deal since other places sell the same unit for $150+. I wonder what the response time is...

    I am not sure, but check out my other thread on the 19" one. For 20 bucks more you get a lot more resolution :)

    Nice but that res. seem low for a monitor of that size. (The one from Fry's is better.)

    Yeah, the resolution and aspect ratio kill it. A regular 19" LCD would have 1440x900 resolution.
