I just went up to Best Buy to take a look at the Westinghouse 22" that Target will have on sale on BF, and they had 22" Acers (x221w) on clearance for $240 ($320). They didn't have any left, other than the floor model, which was supposidly just opened today, or yesterday. I don't have my desktop yet (Monday), so I hooked it up to my laptop with the vga cable. I've got a 3year old Dell Inspiron 6000. 1gig RAM and an integrated video card. I'm guessing because this laptop is pretty weak, it's having a tough time covering this whole screen. Resolution is set to the monitors native at 1680x1050.

I really only notice it on the greys on here. All other colors are good. Happening most in the middle of the screen.

Thoughts? Thoughts on the deal?

Edit: Since it was the floor model, I got it for $215 instead of $240. Same return policy, same warranty.
 
Honestly, I would check out all of the 22" monitors for BF. There was an Acer going for 170 I think (thats with a 60 MIR).
 
It would be a few $ more than I got this one for. I've got a 3 year warranty with this. I'll see what happens with it when my computer comes in on Modnay.

My monitor isn't listed on Acer's website anymore, I'm assuming it was discontinued? What happens when I send it in under warranty, and has to be replaced. Do I get the model that replaced it?
 
Either it was the laptop in general, or the vga cable was crappy. I'm now hooked up with my new pc and DVI, and all is good. Actually, all is excellent.
