i found a website that had a X2GEN MG17R 17" SXGA display for only $130. It has a 750:1 contrast ratio, 8ms response time, 1280x1024 resolution. Unfortnunately the rebate ended yesterday so i searched around for some other websites and found this one, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...p?EdpNo=1784293 , for only $20 more but dosent have very good specs details, so i typed in the model number and searched some more and my results frustrated me. different websites had different specs for the same monitor. Has anyone had experience with this monitor? Or does anyone know the real specs for it?
Thanks This post has been edited by swill01: Mar 23 2006, 07:04 PM -------------------- |

Thanks for the specs page.... I bought this monitor and stripped it a couple of days ago, no FFC issues at all! Can't wait to see what she can do.
