Pretty good price for a 1920 x 1200 24" with speakers and USB hub. Only a TN panel though. Has HDMI but no DVI so you might need an adaptor.

This monitor was this price before @ stooples a few months back. This is a good monitor for gaming, but note that it is extremely bright, the kind of bright that hurts. It is also way over saturated. This can be toned down somewhat through your vid card settings, but when they say vivid color monitor, they're not kidding. This monitor is a poor choice for photo or graphics work imho, but like I said, and has been stated in many reviews, great for gaming.

There are better deals out here, its a 5ms panel. Many of the new monitors are 2ms now.

I'm glad I bought the Asus 26" over this for the same price.

Deal is sort of not as good due to no more $3 shipping from NCIX promo code as of today.
My total came to $338.80 with the express coverage which was $15. Since it was a 26" might as well have.

I like the portrait mode option. Any other 'big' monitors have this?

Haven't seen the Asus in person but this deal is really tempting. I have the HP 2207 and it's a really great glossy monitor if you don't mind TN. Saturation can be brought under control and it's one of the few cheaper monitors out there with height adjust + rotation.
