Newegg is better than any other store generally. Wish we had a one-stop shop like that in the UK!
The price drop won't end, it'll stay that low until it's lowered again.

It's not just some special offer period, it's a price break, drop, crash, whatever you like to call it, in the same sense as console price drops, when they drop from £250 to £170 the day after you buy them, that sort of thing.

Viewsonic VX924! lol, anything with 8ms or less response time, 300cd/m2 brightness or more, and 500:1 or more contrast...
Performance is good though, if you can afford it!

Precisely, if you're going to do something, may as well do it properly. The only good low-cost monitor I've seen is the Sceptre, and you can't get those here! :-(

I'd only say VS over Sceptre, because I've never seen the Sceptre. I 100% believe theone's account of his, but one guy's opinion is all I have to go on...

Ha... whatever though.. they have pretty damn quality for a 150.00 LCD.. if i need to.. i have an extra power supply, if i get the 1900 and p/s in my compy does not have enough juice.. if i used a seperate power supply to just run the video card.. if the p/s is only running the video card everything should be stable.. i am getting the 2 molex connector.. so everything should work alright right?

As long as you can activate the second unit! But really, why not just get a better single unit?
