nice deal,

where do i get the 20 dollar off coupon for 75 dollar purchases? Can anyone send me a link? Thanks

Also, the 19 inch monitor says its .22mm dot pitch, is the lower the number better or higher? And is .22 good? Thanks

I bought this a little while ago for $156, delivered, with WA state tax, after $20 + $30 rebates. It's a value-line Samsung.

The 0.22mm is horizontal pitch, equates to 0.26 diagonal (honest) pitch. Smaller is better, if all else is equal.

Worth what I paid for it. Text sharpness is OK, but the colors are greyish.

I had the 17" version of this monitor and didn't like it at all. Text wasn't too crisp and it had low refresh rates with bland colors. In less than a year i started getting alot of signal distortion, this was due to cords coming loose inside the vga cable. You get what you pay for

Would someone that really doesnt know alot about computers, and just goes on internet, types few term papers, and play a few games really notice the difference? Right now, I have a compaq presario 5015 with a MV500 monitor, and it looks great for me. The monitor and system is about five years old, and the monitor is great. But I brought a p4 1.8ghz for college, and Im thinking about buying the 19 inch monitor. Could anyone tell me if this is a good idea, and also will the samtron monitor be worst or better than my five year old compaq presario MV500 monitor right now? thanks for the help.

Andrew: If you'll be living in the dorms, a 19" will likely make you feel cramped. I'd suggest a quality 17" AG (aperture grill) type (Sony Trinitron or Mitsubishi Diamondsomething).

I run at 1024 x 768 and love my (discontinued) IBM P72, a 17" Trinitron (pre-FD model, flat vertically, slightly curved horizontally).

Andrew Fraley...i also recommend 17" trinitron or =.
they are flat screen wich reduces glare. also they have high refresh rates wich means less trips to the eye doctor. i can look at my 19" all day ...but my 15" m50 hewlett packard burns my eyes pretty bad after an hour or 2.
