This is a good price?  I'm looking at a 21" Hitachi that I just picked up off
of eBay that is the greatest thing I've ever seen and I only payed $350
including the shipping.  Yes, it's used but it looks brand new and works
flawlessly.

considering this is the monitor I have and I paid about 1300$ for it a
couple years ago, yes, it's a nice price.

C'mon Daxe, you can't go back more than a couple of months comparing
computer hardware prices. Monitor prices have plummeted since you
bought yours.

That's true, but 600-700$ for a 21" monitor as nice as this one is
still a pretty darn good price.  It's not exactly a bargain ba***t
piece of hardware.  The specs were very nice back then and still are.
You can get a 21" monitor with huge dot pitch and horrible refresh
rates for 400$, but a decent one is still kinda pricey.

I guess what I am saying is that this is and has been an excellent
monitor, even having paid 1300$ for it.  If anyone is thinking of
buying a 21" monitor, they would not be ill advised to consider the
Viewsonic G810, especially for 600-700$.

That make more sense?

$1300 for a MONITOR?!?  Holy....
Yeah, I know some are *very* expensive.  I can't justify spending that kind of
money, though...

I agree Eldred.  If I'm going to pay $1300 for a monitor it better be a flat
panel of no less than 19".  Truth be known, I'm not buying one of those until
they drop to less than $500.  My Hitachi was bought used on eBay for $350
total.  Has a dot pitch of .22 and God knows how many user settings.  I have
no clue because I've not taken the time to figure it out.  It looks brand new
and everyone that has seen it is quite impressed.  With what you can get
monitors for on eBay anymore, you'd be crazy to spend more than $400,
including shipping for a 21" monitor.  Hell, you can get factory refurbed Sony
Trinitrons for less than $400 and I don't think you're going to find better
than that.

If they are "refurbished" then they obviously weren't furbished right
the first time.  Used is used and one thing I would not buy used is a
monitor.  They have too short a life to trust a used one.

Sonys are nice if you like that shadowline  that goes across the
screen about 2/3 of the way down.  I have a 15" Sony trinitron here
that looks great but it has that dang line...I gave it to my wife.

Ok..it wasn't really 1300$  it was 1298$ plus shipping.

Considering how much time I spend sitting here, it was easy to
justify.  Heck, just wanting it was enough justification for me.

:o)

Well, I don't have the kind of money to make that kind of decision... :(

I know this is late...
But for $100 more you could have VS's 22" flat screen flagship

Hope I didnt ruin your day, honest
