That is what I am seeing, a choice between some leftover 22" 1680x1050 monitors, and higher end 1920x1200 monitors. With a smattering of mid-range 1920x1200's here and there.
I have 2 Dell 22" 1680x1050's and they are OK. I just have an itch....
And to get anything I want, I will have to order on line.
After hitting all the local outlets, big boxes, anyway, I heard a lot of floor salespeople moaning about a complete lack of 16:10 monitors.
And they ALL told me that people are asking every day for them.
While I was at CompUsa, looking at a 28" i-Inc monitor, and the clerk was telling me my choices were the display unit, or a broken one in back, or one that would come off the pallet in the morning, another fellow came up and asked for one.
I didn't really want a 28" monitor, and wasn't too impressed with what I saw in that one, so I left.
They also had a 1920x1200 24" Gateway leftover, a model that got mediocre reviews on line. At $339.00.
Last night I ordered one from Amazon,
a 25.5" Asus 1920x1200, and hope I like it. $274.49 - $30 rebate & free shipping will be a good deal if all goes well.
