Tepid. Best wait for another dell monitor deal, imho.

edited the title to lukewarm...

Is there an echo in here?

 

[TJN23]

the fact that theres no dvi was covered in the opening post...

this is also the reason why its a lukewarm deal...

Yea, it's a solid price for the monitor your getting. I got in on the last dell deal and picked up the DVI model for $391 shipped. Like the other guy said, I would wait for another 10% off and use one of those stackable $45 off 350 or something.

FYI on the NEC 1760 LCD

All 16 MS LCD Monitors only display 262,000 colors... so When playing games that require you to see alot of dark areas, the grey scale will show mostly black.

I bought this monitor a while ago and returned it, as I am not able to play games on it.

BTW, what ever price you find on here, you can beat by price matching to staples.com... they price match to 110% of the price, then add in your 20 bucks off 200 purchase and you are getting some good savings... not to mention they do free shipping.

Just my 2 cents

price = 421 - price match of 110% = 379 - 20 coupon = 359 - 20 dollar MIR = 339 + tax

Nice DVI alternative to the 1760V for $378. Response time is high but I read some good reviews:

Do a google search for the reviews. I still don't understand how some LCDs with high response times still manage to play games ok. Unless the response time is one of those "Black Art" mystery things which you can't relie on. I'll probably buy this for my daughter to take back to college.
