Good Deal?

After hours of browsing for monitors, I think I found the right one but would like to know if this is a good deal for a new monitor - is it worth the 275?

I had a G420S, and my buddy had a G520... I was actually quite disappointed with the monitors. Every FD Trinitron Sony monitor I have bought has had discoloration in the corners (purchased in retail stores locally and online from Newegg and such, it's a constant factor), and the canons never aligned as well as I would've liked... Text would be slightly blurry due to very subtle AG misalignment, color was inconsistent... I even owned an E400 right before the G420S and it was the same way. As was his G520. Not to mention a number of other FD Trinitron displays I saw (a 17" Viewsonic FDT-based display I have, however, is perfect)... I don't know, I'd look around for something better. I used to love Sony's vertically-flat displays, but their FDs aren't too great.
