Monitors Direct

They have this at $429 on their site and you can use the $40 coupon code ch30 (its listed on their site under "coupons and rebates specials"). Plus they have free shipping and you can get a 3 year premium warranty for $0.01.

I just paid $20 more for this a week ago, wonder if they'll give me a price adjustment?

Anyone knows which states they charge sales tax? Their web site is nice and everything but I can't find the answer to this very simple question that's important to anyone buying something worth a few hundred bucks. I can't believe these people didn't contemplate people asking this question. Where are they from, outer space?? ;-)

Looks like a gooddeal. I bought a NEC 1760NX (same LCD panel) from Dell last summer for around the same price and it's great for games.

Games look great and I haven't noticed any ghosting yet. Only thing I don't like is that the top left corner is a bit darker then the rest of the screen. Although its not really noticeable unless I'm really staring at it. I'd say it was worth the money overall.

Just got the monitor today (2 day free shipping, very nice).

Played a few games with it (Joint Operations and Knight Online demos). No ghosting at all!! So far I am extremely pleased with it, thanks OP.

Mine does have one dead pixel, but it is off to the side and I never notice it. That being said, Monitors Direct has just about the best customer satisfaction deal around, so I could probably get it replaced if I want. I'm not going to do this as it is very minor.

Mine will be here Monday.
I got a personal call from a customer rep. at MonitorsDirect, gave me his direct line and told me to call him if there are any problems with monitor throughout its' warranty period. That was pretty nice customer service! :)

Got mine today. Looks and works great. Didn't have too much time to play with it. I ran NWN and it looked great on max settings. BF Vietnam didn't look quite as good, the high resolution is taxing my Ati 9600 i I think, will have to mess with the settings more after work. No ghosting though:)
