Is this a good monitor: Samsung 23-in LNR238W?

I know the native res is kind of low at 1366 x 768 but i prefer it.

Does anyone own this thing?

I found that one for about $500 used.


I know i can the dell 24" for about $800 but that's too high for me.

what are you going to use the monitor for?

I really don't know about it.
It's a TV and I think it's designed to have the user look at non-text stuff from some distance away from it.

I plan to use it for gaming and web surfing.

are those sort of monitors generally bad for text?

They aren't bad for text per say, but since it's such a large screen with that low resolution, text looks kinda huge.

They are nice for movies & games though
