I'm looking to buy a new LCD monitor. I was thinking about getting a Dell FP1800 LCD Screen. They run about 450$ on ebay, and they use DVI connectors.

What do you guys think? 450$ is about my limit to spend. I want something 18.0" or bigger.

Check TigerDirect. They have an 18.1 inch for $389.99.

From what I've read those are really good monitors, I was going to buy one myself this Summer (waited for a new PB instead).

Sometimes Dell runs coupon offers to save up to 15% or more.. so keep the eye out for one of those. Also if you are able to order from the small business page you can also get a discount.

Price aside I'd say go for it...

I got a Gateway FPD1830 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2780841163&category=29503) on eBay a while back for $400.00. Great monitor, not a single dead pixel. Very bright. Better than 1024x768 resolution, so I'm happy (1280x1024).
