its ok, refresh rates are a bit low, not much tech info on its contrast ranges etc. Probably not good for doing art work or digital image editing, but ok for surfing gaming etc.

It should be fine, unless you are doing serious work on it.

Price: $169.00... Holy Crap!
I have never paid more than $100 for a 19inch moniter, but I always buy them used, mostly from work...Good Luck

just got the same monitor about a month ago and love it. dell had it for 185 no tax, free 3 day shipping. probably going to buy a second in a few weeks.

Seems like a reasonable price. I don't think you'll like 1600x1200 @ 68 Hz . 68 isn't very nice, but on a 19' you probably won't use that res anyway.

I've bought 21" monitors from merkortech.com twice with good results . Give them a look and only buy the A class.

would 85hz be better? i found a diffrent one with 85 hz instread of the 68hz

Much better <b>Smackre</b>, much better. Merry Christmas.

Yeah, Id try to stay about 70 Hz at the minimum. Anything lower and the flickering is pretty visible, and will make your eyes hurt. I run LCDs now, but when I was running CRTs, they ran at 75 Hz.

Thank you Guys,
