that's true! I was almost going to buy my monitor from them. And my son said he'd look at the computer show. I don't know what size mine is anymore! I think 19 - but it is a full size, as opposed to the normal style monitors. The viewing area is all there!

I got a 19" from Costco for About $450 - $500. They have a 19" Sceptre for $470. It has 700:1 contrast ratio and I love it! I also have an Envision 19" I got at Costco ...I think it is 600:1 contrast... and I love that one two. Once you have two monitors..you never want to go back to one..... But, there are things to be careful of... just having two monitors is not enough.... you need a graphics card that can handle two of them.... I am not sure where you are...or the exchange rate..to know if $900 is a good price...... If it is Australia..I think that is a standard price..but.. remember.... the contrast ratio.. you go not want to go below 500:1. Also, check for the warranty..and the availability of an extended warranty. I bought the Sceptre monitor..which is now sold at Costco.... from www.e-cost.com and I was happy with their service..and I purchased an extended warranty on the monitor. Have Fun..hope this helps...
