Is this a good monitor for a gamer?

well it uses sony's trinitron technology which is very good, looks like a really good deal

It's looks to be an exceptional deal. My only wonder though is, is it flat enough?

PLtNmHeLiX, I've currently got a 19" Sony G400 and I love it, if I had the cash, I'd go for the deal, hope this helps

You DO realize that all the products sold at this site you are referring to are refurbished units? Not sure if it's that great a deal for the price really.

I was looking at the same monitor, take note that this probably uses a 5-BNC connector HP A4331D. Call them and ask about this. You may need a HD15 to 5BNC adaptor.

Maximum resolution is 1600x1200-75Hz. You may have difficulty in finding drivers too.

Their add is very misleading, mentions 1940X1200 Max resolution. :frown:

Here's another/cheaper place to buy it too... for $ 169. This site shows a HD15 connector.

As for games, 1280X1024 resolution would be a good choice. Not sure how long a refurbished monitor would last.

You mean 1280 x 1024...if your video card can push a game at that resolution...

1024x768 still seems to be a really sweet spot for gamers and hardware in my opinion.
