That does seem like a good price (ar). I hesitate based on the brand though.

Hmmm... Any ideas on the quality of this. Norwood Micro?


In-Stock in store by me but curious if it's decent quality...

never heard of name
i think $199 AR for a no name brand LCD with 16ms is not really hot when you can find comparable ones for better price, specs and brand
that Dell 1907 19 LCD with 8ms response time for $230-40 seem better.

My buddy just bought one. It had 10 dead pixels. Returned it, the new unit had 16 dead... tried one more time, and it had 7 dead.

He said the purity wasn't that good, it was almost fuzzy in all 3 units, using DVI connection.

So unless you can go to the store, and see it yourself, and maybe even try it there to check for dead pixels, I would say you get what you pay for.

Maybe it was just a bad batch... or maybe not.
