Default Anyone have a 28" monitor?

I can pick up this refurbished Commercial link removed LCD monitor for $450. Ad states that brand will vary by store, Commercial link removed
but at this price....who cares what brand.
Does anyone have such size monitor? Is it good for gaming?

Hmmmm can't really tell. Hopefully it has a DVI port and a good refresh rate.

I've been considering this particular monitor myself. Refresh rate isn't a significant point with LCD monitors, since most run around 60-70Hz. Response time is more important, but I used to have one with a 25ms response time and it wasn't too slow for gaming. You'd have to try harder to find one with a slower time.

This one has HDMI and a D-Sub port. It's not a bad setup since it comes with a DVI-HDMI cable and a D-Sub-component cable. I think it would be perfect with DVI and HDMI instead of the D-Sub, but it's not bad if you plan to use your computer as a gaming rig AND a movie center, so long as you have HD capability to hook up. Wouldn't want to get this refurbished, though.
