Just saw it in my weekly CompUSA add. Here's the link: FP731

Also here are the specs:
Slim in Size. Big on Features.

When the affordability and performance are critical considerations, the BenQ FP731 is the best choice for a 17” LCD monitor. The FP731 provides great picture quality through D-sub input. And, to meet users needs for clear, sharp picture quality, the FP731 features high brightness and contrast levels, ikey and auto adjustment functions.

Saw this one in the ad last night. Picked one up today. Looks pretty good to me I don’t notice any ghosting, only ran 3dmark and watched it though. Mine has one stuck blue pixel. I definitely cant complain for $180.

you expected a 14ms response time and dvi for $180 ?

my thoughts exactly. I picked one up after looking over it at the store. It will do well to replace my Viewsonic A75s CRT monitor.

Except of course the Viewsonic displayed games perfectly to be sure, and I'm wagering this cheapy does anything but. :eek:

Surprisingly enough this BenQ I think is better then my Viewsonic. Albeit my Viewsonic was starting to die. (It probably still had 6 months left in it) I couldn't even get my Viewsonic up to 1280x1024 without the picture starting to go. Plus the constant adjusting of the screen. Maybe I don't know what a "good" picture is supposed to look like but I think I got a damn good one with the BenQ. Just my thoughts though.

BenQ's aren't usually regarded as cheepies. Granted i'm sure they have value lines, but so do all the other manufacturers.
