Are any of these monitors worth purchasing at these prices?  Need a monitor for a desktop.  Main purpose is gaming.

I agree.  That is a good price for a flatscreen at that size.  Unless they charge a ton for shipping that is.

Stay away from TigerDirect! You'll never see ANY of those rebates ever if you buy from them.

Ah, Buzz.  You were right about the rig i purchased in June. I should have listened.

I know your kung fu in these matters is the best.  Please pm me your source.  And, I might need a graphics card for that rig you told me not to buy.  Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and get a real gaming rig.  Starting with the damn vid card first.

Thanks Valiss, MAD, and Caboose.  If Buzz's sources are too pricey, I'll take you up.  Or, I could just not watch TV and use the big screen. 

You'll hear me complain this time next year that whatever rig I have can't play the latest games.

yeah that is the widescreen and that is a real good price! Mine is the 931bf and it is'nt a widescreen but it still is a great monitor! Samsung   FTW

FYI any monitor you buy should have at least 8ms responce time or less!! 2ms is the fastest you can get

And anything over 8ms can give some people headaches(like me)
