Gateway 18.1 LCD refurb is back for 399.99!

Somewhere along the line, I believe I read that a "good" lcd monitor will power up in ??? seconds. I forget how many seconds it took for these high quality monitors to power up, but the monitor I got in this deal powers up in 2 seconds from the time I hit the power button. Its hard for me to imagine that another monitor could do it A LOT faster than 2 seconds. Dunno though!

I still see no ghosting whatsoever when gaming with this monitor - including FPS games.

I just bought one of these monitors two weeks ago from overstock.com. It is the most awesome monitor! I was skeptical at first cause I play a lot of first person shooters and also have multiple pc's that I wanted to attach to this monitor. The first person shooter issue is one that I am willing to compromise on. There is a slight bit of ghosting but not so much that it makes the games unplayable....besides this monitor sure makes up for it with the internet/text as well as dvd movies. I am able to hook up my main PC to the DVI input and then plug a KVM swith into the analog input which is hooked to two other pc's. Its really an awesome setup. I am really debating getting another one and having dual monitors..of course then I might as well drop the cash on a dual gpu vid card with two DVI outputs....is that going to far?

Oh well, point is I would recomend this monitor to anyone for any reason. Refurbished for this might as well mean nearly new cause that is exactly what it is.
If you are not quite sure if you should make this purchase, let me help you decide..........DO IT!!!
