    It is marked as reduced £100 off and was under a Sale sign in store. Website doesn't say whether its a limited offer or not but at this price I don't think it will stay in stock long. On another thread someone was looking for a cheap 17" monitor and the best about was £135 - see here.

    Perhaps the board monitor could decide where its best placed.

    ... not showing off but I have the SyncMaster 213T model :D
    and I'm really chuffed with mine.
    The Pivot function is excellent, it allows you to view the screen in portrait as well as normal landscape format.

    Excellent find. At this price its gotta be a Bargain ?

    Got mine today... arrived by UPS. One small dead pixel (in the corner and hardly visible so i can live with it), i wasn't immediatly happy with it as i already had a Samsung 172MP with TV tuner :) But after playing with the settings i am likiing it :) Out of the box you need to press the auto-adjust to get rid of the flickering and then lower the brightness a lot and then its good (if you dont play around with the settings you may find text blurry and your self getting a headache and a suntan ;) )

    It has 7 days to return it if you dont want it. Its small too much more room on the desk now :)
    Money, Money, Money ..... Banks/Casinos/Bookies give me all you money its a poor mans world....
