Second Monitor?
« on: March 07, 2012, 04:34:47 PM »
Quick opinion guys:

I'm thinking about getting this: ASUS Monitor as a second monitor. This will achieve two things.

1) I get a second monitor
2) I'll be supporting a local business and a GATT partner

Any thoughts about better monitors for similar pricing, or better pricing on another local competitor is welcome.

That's a nice monitor. Too bad it isnt LED tho. If it was i would go for it without hesitating but seeing as its missing that 1 feature, for this day and age, i'd have 2nd thoughts. I myself was looking for a decently priced monitor locally and the best i could find was an AOC 22" from SuperTech with only DVI/VGA for $950, but again, no LED =(

The LED i can overlook, until i plan to change my first monitor or add a third, but i NEED that HDMI and Speakers, so that kinda sets my pricing already :S

My brother currently uses one of these.  Was always impressed with its performance.

For that price, I say buy it yes.
You could always resell for an easy grand if need be.

I'd recommend it too.

I've got the bigger brother (26 inch version) and works like a champ. Have it hooked up to a Flow HD cable box to double as a TV as well.

Also serves as a discrete PS3 monitor for some gaming when the living room big screen is under lock down
