Dot pitch for LCD's is different from dot pitch for CRT's. For tube monitors, which are analog, dot pitch is an indicator of how blurry high resolutions were going to be. As you approach the monitor's dot pitch, the image got worse, and as you went beyond it, it became blurry. There was no natural "maximum resolution," just a balance of resolution and blur that you picked between. So, high dot pitch meant more blur.
Because all LCD's are digital by design, dot pitch is merely a function of screen size and resolution. LCD's look sharpest at their max resolution, and don't work beyond their max resolution.
Basically, picture a sheet of graph paper. LCD dot pitch is the size of each square on the graph paper. Images on a .25mm dot pitch LCD are not any more or less sharp than a .30mm dot pitch LCD. The latter images are simply 20% bigger, and still perfectly sharp.
High dot pitch LCD's are GREAT for anyone who's getting older, or has to wear glasses, because they make small text easier to see.
$350 in Houston. Nice monitor if judged by performance and not by specs,which are really meaningless as there are no real measurement standards, each mfg just calls them what they wish! Buy by specs - die by specs.
Has anyone seen these on east coast Costcos? Specifically in the southeast? This LCD sounds amazing but I won't believe it until I see it in person!

As has already been said before, dot pitch is pretty meaningless in a lcd. This is different than it was in the olden days when dot pitch was a useful statistic for crts because crt's have more phospur triplets on them than they do pixels.
Correct. Only B&M. Membership costs $50 a year. Or take a friend who is a member and have them buy it for you.
BTW, at Costco WA. It also got a viewsonic 22" LCD VX2235wm for $350. It got the same spec. as the acer. The reason I got the viewsonic because it got 3 yrs warranty vs 1 yr warranty for the Acer.

I can't speak for Photoshop, but 16.2 million colors is plenty for gaming. I have an 8-bit Samsung at work and a 6-bit panel at home, and I really can't notice the difference in colors. I'm a programmer/engineer and not a photographer, though. I've never had any problems doing photo work - it may also help that I never print out anything.
I had to sell off my 20" widescreen to a friend - I couldn't handle the small pixel size. I would have definately bought this if it was available.
This deal is indeed quite tempting, but I must resist for now. More pressing purchases to be made at the moment.
