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. Dave Casey Casey_94 (NASCAR Racing 3 & 4) www.teamcasey.net www.lvkc.com www.buycoolcrap.com

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

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. Tim

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 basement 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? ~daxe

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. ~daxe

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) ~daxe

Well, I don't have the kind of money to make that kind of decision... :( Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +40.48 Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

If I *knew* that monitor would gain me 30 seconds....well, I'd still have to think about it. Maybe I can gain 15 seconds with a $500 monitor...<g> Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +40.48 Never argue with an idiot.
