Post by: Pollock on November 02, 2005, 12:14:50 PM

I picked up this monitor today from Costco for $165.88.

I hope it plays AH2 nice.  I think this is a good deal according to the store it normally goes for $329.00

I was wondering how graphics look in game on a flat panel monitor like that? Does it have as good, or better res than say a regular 19" flat screen with a .20 dot pitch?

It should play AH pretty good with a ~12ms response time.

They aren't listed on Costco's website so it was probably a closeout or special buy for that distribution center. I used to work for Sam's and periodically they would buy several thousand of one item as a one time purchase and they would be able to pass along a huge discount to their customers.
