Thanks Clockdog, what is the knock on the Lenovo? Looks like a pretty good monitor, i remember people were chatting about this one last time i checked in on monitors.
$500-$600 tops, would like to keep it cheaper. To be honest, i mostly read forums. I like to play games and look at family pictures too (no movies). Guess i am looking for a jack of all trades. Any help would be appreciated.
If you go with the HP I would makes sure its at a vendor with an easy return policy. I bought one and it had error messages about being out of range (it was set at the default - just a defect) plus blue horizontal lines and red vertical lines on the screen intermittently. From what I've read after these things are not uncommon with that model.
