Do you think it is worth paying the $28.99 to SquareTrade for the 2 year warranty?

Well, I got mine yesterday. Wouldn't you know that the picture is perfect. Just gorgeous. But, mine has a significant crack in the upper left corner where "Trinitron" is written and it runs down the side of the monitor about 4"-5". It purely aesthetic, or so it seems. The screen itself if fine, but dammit...why can't this just go well and be simple?
And if he HAS run out of inventory, I guess I'm SOL? I understand the guy seems to have shipped quality monitors to many of us on here, but I get the ugly duckling. Recourse?

Like the auction says, there could be minor cosmetic defects from normal use.

WOOHOO! I just closed a deal on one yesterday. I decided to wait till LCD tech gets better as far as size and response time goes. My 2005FPW is OK but does not hold a candle to my 21" CRT. And for the price, it was worth the gamble. I'll be ecstatic if I can get 3 years of use out of it. I only game for about 2 hours a day so it seems doable.

Thanks, that clears up a few things but theres still a couple of things at the back of my head
I currently have a 17" CRT and game at resolutions of 1024x768. Since this is a 24" widescreen monitor, will I have to up the resolution to get the same effect that I had on my 17" monitor?, or will it look just like it did on my 17"?
Thanks!!
