I was searching for a wide screen glossy LCD for a few months now.
I wanted a decent performer with glossy to watch HDTV and play some BF2 every so often. First I saw the NEC 20WMGX2 in black. But the thing was $700 roughly. So I decided to keep on looking. I saw Fry's had that NEC on sale for a decent price every so often but looking at the price of that vs a normal high performing LCD like a Viewsonic VX2025wm the price was unjustifyable. Then I went into a phase of looking at Acer's lineup like the Ferrari F20. I thought that was a nice monitor except for the stand was funky.
Originally that thing was going for $600 as well. So I passed. Plus I wasn't too fond of the stand and it's limited range of adjustment. Then I saw that Acer had another 20inch version when I was at MicroCenter. It looked sharper then the F20 and it was cheaper. For only $450 I thought I found my glossy 20"!
I mulled it over for about a week then I checked www.centralcomputers.com and they had this on sale!!:
