I would not go with that monitor, Al. You can get bigger and better for
considerably less than $388. You should also consider a monitor with a
16:9 aspect ratio (1920 X 1080).

I paid less than that for a 25" (actually 24.something) Samsung
monitor/HDTV. P2570HD, it usually hovers around $300 at newegg.
monitor only versions available for considerably less. Only drawback is
you really need to buy a monitor stand with VESA mount to use it as a
monitor.
