Macmall has got a "X2gen" 17" LCD monitor for $129 (http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~718170.asp). I'm really tempted to pick this thing up for the price. The specs look pretty good -- anyone have any experience with this unit?
Got a tip for us?

Great deal, i'd hit it up if i needed a basic monitor to hook upto a mac mini or older Powermac G3/G4...

The specs look pretty good to me, sounds like a great deal for the price.
My only concern would be the manufacturer's coverage for burnt pixel. I went on the x2gen website website but couldnt find any details.
For example, viewsonic will replace your screen even if it only has 1 burnt pixel while KDS wont replace it unless it has 7.
Just so you know what to expect from them is something goes wrong.

Go here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=ENE&N=50010035&Manufactory=10035) to see the warranty policy: "Replacement or Refund for 8 or more dead pixels only"

The only odd thing is that they have the same guidelines for every brand (samsung,viewsonic,x2gen) I guess thats more or a store policy then the manufacturer's official coverage.
