Why is this deal setting off a red flag?

[simms]

Was looking through classifieds and saw an ad for a 19" Samsung LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitor/DiscontinuedModels/MJ19DS.asp for $217USD.

I thought Samsung is supposed to be really high end? I get to check it out and test it before I buy, what should I look out for?

Samsung 19" LCDs were on sale for $220-$250 on black friday. $220 isn't extremely low, but the seller could probably get more for it. Bring a copy of that program that tests for dead/stuck pixels.

why do you need a program, your eye will tell you. or is this program one that tests every pixel for speed??

The 912V is a old model. I'm guessing it's close to a 20MS response on the sucker. My store sells the 913V, and it has a 12MS, so I'm guessing it's in the 16-20MS area.

My bro got my mom the 19" samsung that was on sale at black friday, and gave that to her as a Christmas present.

She ended up returning it because the lower resolutions seemed really choppy. Also there was a dead pixel, which stood out as it was always bright red. Yay samsung.

link should work now. They also have the 197 in silver.

But I guess since I don't game, this has DVI, and is samsung... seems like a pretty good deal right?
