I just bought a SCEPTRE X20G-Naga III!

Turns out the "pinkish tint" on the lower light range of my Compaq (Trinitron P1100) is caused by the red gun in the CRT dieing, and a new tube would cost at least $500, well over the price I paid for this monitor 4 years ago, soo...

I bought this beast instead: :grr:

Here's its specs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824112176

I got it with free shipping as well, cause The Egg just happened to be running an 8 hour sale on it at the time I was looking for a replacment. All the reviews I've read praise this monitor for being fantastic in terms of both image quality and price/performance, so I took the dive into widescreen LCD!

I plan on writing a review once I get it (to help pay for it maybe? :buck:). Stay tuned.

I'm interested to read your review on it. I was actually looking at it today for someone who will also be upgrading from CRT to LCD very soon. He's concerned because he's never heard of the brand before but I told him the NewEgg reviews for it are great.

Isn't that the brand, Sceptre, the Costco carries?

[TheSmJ]

Yes. I've heard Costco carries it.

[GHoosdum]

Yes, they do carry Sceptre products. They're charging ten bucks more (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11097928&whse=&topnav=&browse=&s=1) than Newegg right now on that same monitor, though.

Keep us informed how you like it, SmJ. It just might be my next monitor as well.

I was looking at it the other day, but questioned its quality as I have never heard of them before.
