Opinions about this monitor please.

Samsung 20.1" LCD Monitor

I was thinking about getting a new monitor and wanted to know what people thought about this one. Honestly, I don't really have a clue when comes to monitors. I can tell this one has a dvi and that's what I want. But, would this be good for gaming and movies? I can see the seek time is low enough to prevent ghosting, but is it low enough?

I currently have a 17" analog lcd and it doesn't give me problems, I just want something bigger.

Give me some other ideas if you have any in this price range and size. I want something in the 20" range.

Link is FUBAR.

Working now?

No

I don't know what to tell you, it works for me. Maybe others can confirm its fubaredness.

Yup. All I get is...

Hold up there's an extra / in the URL.

It should read http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824001194

How the hell did it work for you?

LOL it did have an extra / . I don't have any idea, but it was sending me to the right site. Fucking weird. Auto complete in Firefox maybe??

Anyways, what do you think about it?

Seems expensive, but then I have to remind myself of the exchange rate.

I checked bestbuy.com and the same monitor is even more expensive, and their other brands aren't that much cheaper.

If I was you, I would wait until after Christmas, when the January sales are on. You'll probably have no trouble picking that monitor up for $450-500 easily. It's up to you anyway, but I would definately wait til after Xmas ;)

What do you think about the specs of the monitor itself? I mean will it play games and movies well?
