That HP monitor is a very nice one and on my shopping list since my CRT is on its way out -- one of the colors intermittent intensity and there's no-one left around to resolder the color card !

I missed a Staples offer of that monitor for $99 a week or so ago ... down from $219 - $199

Soif you can get it at a decent price I'd go for it. I''ve seen it in stores and it's a nice picture.
