they're cheap but being reconditioned units, i dunno how many dead pixels they may have. some people just return the monitors if they have dead pixels and the monitor pass testing but may have 4 or so dead pixels that the previous owner just didn't like.

Also, if you are planning to use these for gaming, be sure and check the specs VERY carefully.

A buddy of mine bought an 18 inch Gateway-branded LCD and it smears like holy hell when he plays games on it.

Tallgeese - What specs usually determine whether or not images ghost on an LCD?

Response time (combined rise and fall) most importantly...25ms or less, preferably 16ms and then contrast ratios, higher the better 350:1 at a minumum 500:1 or better preferable.

Good prices!

Since you're on top of this Chizow, do you happen to know of a couple of good-excellent 17" or 19" TFT's that fit these specs?? I'm looking for sweet one.
