This seems absurdly cheap. Anyone know anything else about this monitor?

I thought low $200 was a good deal, so this seems too good to be true. Maybe the monitor is very bad quality or something?

I know a few people who used this monitor back in the day. Performance wise it was nice, but the stand is shit. It wobbles easy. Great deal tho.

i literally just bought that one, i have improved so much from it (understanding what i see and aim). you should get it if any are in stock. i personally don't notice any input lag but i have always had bad monitors so. the stand is really wobbly

Solid monitor, mine has been going strong for a longg time. Only qualm with it is the shit stand, but as long as you aren't on a rocky card table it isn't a big deal.

Exactly this, I bought it from a current Invite player and tested it before passing it on to my teammate, it's a GREAT monitor. I'm looking to buy another for another teammate. If you don't need an IPS monitor, it's a good choice. It felt incredibly smooth.

Could I have a bit more feedback from users of this monitor or past owners? I really do want to get it and just a few more yeses from ya'll be just plain awesome.

Also, my friends are going to be interested in buying this too. I have checked out videos and did notice the stand being wonky and bleh, but me and my friends are fortunate enough to have sturdy desks.

If you have a sturdy desk, and you have no other needs than having a 120 Hz, this is fine. I physically tested it.

I also use this monitor.. its been great to me for the last ~3 years.
Only complaints is bad stand (take care of it) and max res of 1680x1050.
i.e,... it won't do 1920x1080 in case that is a deal breaker.

Really? Hmm... I want to get one when (if it magically rains money one day) I do my build, but it won't help me right now because I can't even keep 60 fps with maxframes.
