I've had one sine June. It's good, especially for the $$$. http://www.pcconnection.com/Product...336DEABC4125EC188CB62563F4DADA14EF33EB4FF398F
It has a "TN" panel... i.e. viewing angle sucks. Get a PVA or S-PVA technology. Trading will be much more enjoyable.
Of course it does. That's why it's so cheap. But the TN panel has no impact on trading unless your viewing angle is acute. But at $120, it's a great deal on a good monitor.
Get a 20" wide for around 260; it has much better resolutions and will saves you some money in the long run for a new glasses.
Nobody claimed this monitor is the best or that others are not better.... The POINT... (1) cheap, and (2) good display for the money.
