MBP Secondary Monitor

What do you think about this monitor for a dual display with an early 08 MBP? Is it good value? The resolution is pretty nice etc. The Ebay seller is also reliable.

It's really up to you. If you are in the UK then shipping shouldn't be a problem, but if you are somewhere else you know they'll charge you more. I've heard great things about that monitor. You can get it straight from Dell for $159, so I'm not sure if that eBay seller is a better deal or not.

Yeh I live in the UK. Is it cheaper directly from Dell then?

 

[JavaWizKid]

Nope it's more expensive on Dell's website. Just checked.
Is it matte or glossy?

It's $145 for Dell directly, and you'd still need to add VAT and shipping:

Then it's really your call. Most of the time I would pay the extra cost to get it straight from the manufacturer.
