I deal with images that are normally 160" x 55" so one of main needs is a big monitor, that and I wanted to do dual monitor so I can place my toolbars on a 2nd monitor and give me even more work space on the main one. I had been watching this one and they lowered the price from $219 to $199 with FREE shipping.

Yeah I know it's a 5ms monitor, but the 20" i'm currently using is too and i've not noticed squat in the games i've played on it and if I do, i'll just use the 20" to play on.

I don't know if the 1" difference in size matters to you, but the price is right, $159.99 + $1.99 shipping.
I just ordered one, have been using the 20.1" Sceptre for 2yrs now, have "0" complaints, it has been a great monitor and still is.

I hit a $750 jackpot at the local Indian casino and thought I would treat myself to a little bigger monitor.;)

Jeeezus. Those are all good deals on monitors.

It's making me hate my 19" CRT. Heh. :P

It was bright for my taste (on the default setting for graphics) at first but after a little contrast/brightness adjustment (both set @ 55) in the custom user setting it's great and I'm enjoying the hell out of mine so far. /knocks on wood

Awesome monitor, I just have the same model, but just 19'' :(
Anyways I don't think there would be enough space on my desk for a 23'' monster xD

I used the default Plug and Play monitor with the AdobeRGB1998 color profile in the Color Management window.
