I concur. I've got 2 (1 ancient the other newer) that are both fine.

Just so you know, it's a 6-bit panel, so not ideal if you plan to do any serious photo editing.

And TigerDirect, obviously, not most peoples' top choice of vendors ....

For that use, I don't see a major problem then. Just don't count on the rebate. You may have to fight for it.

I have a pair of 22" Acer LCD monitors (different model than what you linked too) that I purchased at Best Buy for $190 (on sale) on two separate occasions. They are definitely not high end LCD's, but for what I intend to do with them (office apps, occasional movie), great bang for the buck.
