Did I make a mistake?

[vpr]

I bought this monitor (late) last night

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824001477

because I was able to stack a -$20.00 coupon and a -10% coupon but time was running out so I didn't have a lot of time to research... After I woke up I discovered that the monitor that I ordered has no DVI inputs only a D-Sub and HDMI. I have a ASUS 560ti which has a mini-hdmi but no cable, so now I'm starting to wonder when it arrives if I should return it and get the

instead? It's already shipped from newegg so I can't call them to cancel it.

Thoughts? This will be used for gaming, movie watching, anime watching, web browsing

Yes, it's the worst mistake ever made in the history of Western Civilization.

Why do you think it's a mistake?

Well, at the very least you made a mistake with the link (or Newegg has). 🙂

I would not have bought the one you did. Instead, I would have bought for $60 less:

I saw this somewhere on the internet:

I believe samsung release this three monitor in a order

samsung XL2370 - came out in the market Q1 2010
samsung PX2370 - came out in the market Q2 2010
samsung BX2331 - came out in the market Q3 2010

Bx2331 is the newest model from samsung but all three monitor have same spec if you look at samsung website. I'm not sure what exactly is the difference between this monitors. one thing I notice is bx2331 is much thinner then px2370.



Summary
I think the monitory I listed (BX2331) is actually the same or very very similar to the PX2370, so much so that I would get the BX2331 instead for a $60 savings.

EDIT
Here is a link discussing the family difference between the PX and BX series:

http://www.digitalversus.com/samsung-syncmaster-bx2350-p357_9211_36.html

Basically: Although both monitors look similar from the outside, the BX family stands out from the PX with an unusual stand, a second HDMI input and a headphone jack.

The two screens have everything else in common though, with the same LED backlighting, 1920 x 1080 TN panel and a stated response time of 2 ms.
