It's no Apple 20" LCD but it's not too bad.

WOW!  $285 for a 19" monitor...Have prices really come down that much???

I seem to recall paying around $500 for my 17" Sony in '97...

Well you could pay $374 Mayo.

I didn't.

You can find a 19" for $145. I think mine is a little better quality.

I needed a shorter depth monitor. 18" was a little too long.

I got the Viewsonic GS790 short throw 19" for $289.00

It's got a depth of only 16.2".

Nice monitor Kelly!

That's a nice one too Gary.  

I'd read that this Diamondron had very similar innards to the Lacie Electron Blue.

Maybe.

Actually I was just looking for a half decent monitor to replace the crappy generic one with my PC.

Only wanted to spend $200 or less.

I knew about this Diamondtron from earlier research.

This model is recently discontinued.

It was running over $350 plus shipping.

Then I found this site.

The one I got was (Opened: Missing Non Essntial Materials) for $249

The only thing missing as far as I can tell is the Manual I found online.

Shipping was $23. Took three days.

Now I'm going to have to check it with my mac.

Flat screen...#2 on my wish list.  #1 is more room for a second monitor.

Nice BDay present you got yourself, Kelly.

Were you surprised?

Well Gary. I was surprised to find it at that price.    

I was surprised shipping for a 19" monitor was $23.

I was surprised I got it in three days.

Going to keep track of these guys..
