I have got to share this with you,LCD too good?

While searching for a new monitor I came across this baby. An IBM 18.1" Flat Screen for under $1,000!!! This baby runs on a digital interface. But it seems to be to good to be true. Then link is http://www.lacc.com/lacc/cnet.html?kw=9519DW0 for the pricing and IBM's product info is http://www5.pc.ibm.com/us/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_9519dw0 My question is WHY IS IT SO CHEAP? I am not up to snuff on LCD, is this a good bargain or would I be getting ripped off? Please check this out and get back to me.

Also this was on there sight, anyone want to share what it means?

From what I know IBM tfts suck.

For information on P&D it is usually considered wise to try looking yourself before posting, especially since you are posting to a hardware review site, but just for you....

If you're looking for a good LCD monitor without breaking the bank. Here is a better deal. <A HREF="http://www.ccinc.com/pcmall/shop/monitor_blowout/" target="_new">http://www.ccinc.com/pcmall/shop/monitor_blowout/</A>
In all honestly I dont know why they are selling these things so cheap. They are brand new, not refurbished. I have been using this LCD at work for 2 month's now and I can tell you that it is an Excellent lcd for the price. I absolutely love it! I have it running off a Matrox G400 at its native 1024x1280 resolution and the picture quality is sharp and crisp without a single dead pixel. I had a 21" Viewsonic G810 before this, but because I got a new desk the monstrous size of the 21" didn't fit well. What a difference in space. LCD's make conventional monitors look like they belong in the stone age.. there just so cool. I believe the response time on it is 50ms which is not bad. Playing UT is awesome on this monitor too, I actually prefer playing UT on it then the 21" viewsonic. I recommend this LCD in a heartbeat. In fact I will soon be buying one for my home system.
