Anyone have any info on this? I like the built in speakers and it looked ok at the store.

My students have gotten the 17" and 19" Princetons from Costco for the past 2 years and are still pleased with their purchases. My friend who has a computer store has purchased the 19"s and says for its price of $269, it was a bargain because it didn't have shipping to Hawaii added on.

Our Costco has the new LCDs usually connected as floor models so one can really decide to purchase or not. Hope your store has that option, but it your choice. I would buy a 20" Princeton for my Graphics machine.

My step-mom has a 19" Princeton LCD. I hate it, ghosts in Windows, let alone games.

I dont know about the newer models though.

That doesn't look too bad, though I haven't read any reviews of it. Then again, I guess that's what Costco's great return policy is for.

It'd be nice if they sold (separately) that Gateway 21" that they bundle with a Gateway system.

I've been looking at this one as well (debating whether to go regular 19" LCD or 20.1" widescreen). Newegg has it for $389 and there are a couple of reviews:

I was also looking at the Sceptre but it only comes with a one year warranty:

Another would be the Benq: Benq

I'm having a tough time deciding right now which one to go with. And wondering if getting a 20.1" will be worth the extra $180 - 200 compared to a standard 19" LCD.

How did the Princeton display look compared to others at Costco? In general I've heard they make decent products.

I have heard it really wasn't all that great (bad grayscales). That new NEC 20" widescreen is stellar, or if you can't afford that go for the Dell 2005FPW I guess.

My 19" Princeton has terrible ghosting in games, but I don't know how that would compare to this model.

Hmm, good to know, xt.

My 17inch princton has bad ghosting even scrolling down web pages. That monitor from costco looks good though, 8ms response time and a decent contrast ratio. Thats a great deal for the price.

(Ooh: 6ms AS-IPS 20" NEC LCD20WGX².)
