Seems like a good price, if it's ***you could probably get your money back
by ebaying it. Also check and see what their dead pixel policy is so you can
return it if it's got some dead pixels.

Well, the warranty is 36 months.  That's good.   Make sure it covers the
Backlight (it doesn't say).

As for the price, count on it costing $249 because it's only $129 after you
receive your $129 rebate, which may or may not happen.

  And here's a link to a site where they ordered one of these .. and about
how long the rebate took to arrive.
  ... not too long :-)

Seems like the pixel size is big especially for 19 incher, but *maybe* not
bad for low price side of things?

Dells specs on this 20 inch wide screen are reportedly not bad for ***.

It is a bit higher of course.  But might be worth the $$

Surely all 19" 1280x1024 monitors have the same pixel size?

Remember that a 1600x1200 20" monitor will have almost 50% more pixels than
a 1280x1024 19" monitor.  Make sure you have a good graphics card!  If you
are not sat too close to your monitor to appreciate the higher resolution,
I'd go for a 19" as they look basically the same size as a 20" one and
you'll get higher fps.
