Anyone own an IBM p275 21" monitor? Thinking of buying one.

[CarrotStick]

Im planning on buying an IBM p275 21" trinitron monitor. Couldnt really find any reviews for it. If anyone out there owns one can you post a few thoughts and comments about it? Thanks. It would really help me out.

It's using an FDTrinitron tube AFAIK, and those are really great. How much are you getting it for and where? You might be able to find similar monitors from Dell/HP that use the same 21" FDTrinitron tube but different electronics. Search for p1110/1120/1130, they're all using the same tube.

I have an IBM P260 on my desk here at the office. It is easily the sharpest CRT display I've ever used (puts my 22" Cornerstone diamondtron at home to shame). I would assume that the P275 continues this trend.

From a freind of a freind that is coming to visit out of state and I was told he had this monitor in really nice condition that he wanted to sell for $300. Should I buy it? When he gets here on friday Im planning on offering him $250. Is it worth $250?

W3rd, I've had my P260 for a few years now and love it. Heavy mofo though!
