For my birthday, my wife wanted me to get an LCD display for my home PC.

After much research, I settled on the BenQ 19″ 8ms display.

I got it, like 99% of everything I buy that’s computer related, from newegg.com. I paid $299.99 for it (which was a steal!), but noticed it’s on sale today for $289.99 and there’s a $30 rebate.

Crap.

I guess that’s just the way it goes sometimes. I’m looking forward to taking it home and trying it out tonight. Sure… it’s smaller and doesn’t handle the same screen resolutions and refresh rates as my 21″ Sony Trinitron, but it also won’t take up quite so much space on my desk, and the image quality should be better as my Geforce 6800Ultra is dual DVI and a regular monitor is slightly blurry after using the DVI to D-SUB adaptor.
