I just ordered my present-to-me for the holidays, a BenQ FP202W from NewEgg. Price: $260. Some might say Isn’t that a bit expensive for a computer monitor? Actually, no.

Check this out:

The lowest priced 19-inch LCD monitor I could find at any retailer: $325.

The lowest priced LCD (of same size) television I could find at any retailer: $400 (rip-off!)

My new 20.1-inch widescreen monitor, $260.

This will be fine’n'dandy for my computing stuff (obviously) and watching DVD’s, too.

As long as it doesn’t arrive with any dead/stuck pixels, I’ll be a happy guy. According to the reviews on the product, very few people had theirs arrive with that defect, so I’m confident mine will be a-okay. Hopefully. :-)

I’d never thought I’d see the day where I’d be using an over-20-inch computer monitor. But hey, it’s just the right size for movie watching at a distance and regular computer stuff, so.. why not?
