Hmm, very tempting for an interim monitor then later used for dual screen. My dell has had a grey line showing in many games, especially WoW for a year now on the dvi port, the dsub port has spots of fuzziness all over the screen.

How does it handle games Zeke?

I'm not picky when it comes to gaming on an LCD...before this monitor, I was getting by on a 15" LCD that had a response time of 25ms.

So to me, this monitor is perfectly fine. But I think that's doing it an injustice.....I can't see where anyone would have much to complain about with it.

How does it handle games

I bought this same monitor at Best Buy maybe a month ago when it was on sale for $149. I've been quite happy with it, once I adjusted the default settings. The brightness was cranked up so high it actually gave me a headache.

I've played many games on it--Oblivion, Titan Quest, etc--and I've had no problems at all. It scales well on games that won't run in widescreen, I've not noticed any ghosting or other problems when gaming, and I think it looks pretty danged nice. I'm sure it can't hang with the expensive big boys, but overall, I consider it a bargain at $149. At $129 it's a hell of a deal.
