Hey guys, I'm looking at what looks like a great deal on a LCD
monitor, and would like some input on these specs:
..294x.294 pixel pitch
600:1 contrast
brightness 250 nits
8ms response
Does this look reasonable for sim racing? It seems like a steal at
$129, does anyone else have this and can comment?

Thanks!

Seems like a good price, if it's crap 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.

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 :-)

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

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

Thanks for the replies, I bought one and we'll see how it goes. I
guess if all else fails the wife can use it for the computer she uses
to surf :)

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.
