Do you know how long these sales typically last? I don't have the money now but will incredibly soon.

newegg does a lot of daily sales.. so it could be just a day. i'd suggest finding a close friend and seeing if they'd be willing to purchase it for you until you get the money whenever incredibly soon is.

nobody's gonna be looking at it but you, nerds

$300 for a 23" LCD is a rip-off, 120 Hz or not

in your opinion all LCD's are ripoffs though I'm guessing, CRTs are almost always cheaper.

Also John I thought you said 120Hz wasn't even worth it if you weren't already using it

It's not. Once you use it though, it is. I was suckered into trying it at a neighbors place. Then I went home and bought one. If you don't want to spend money, never ever use one.

I got a 140hz crt at the same time i upgraded from my toaster of a laptop to a real machine so i can't 100% comment on the displays effectiveness, but after that change, my hitscan became a lot better

Where do you get a nice CRT? Afaik they don't make nice new CRTs and the old ones are all fading with age.

you would need an nvidia gpu and nvidia active-shutter glasses (which are about $100 iirc) if you wanted to use this for 60 Hz 3D, but everyone here is mainly concerned with 2D 120 Hz.

Rofl, that ain't no 50% off.

That's them marking up the original price and cutting it in half.

In actuality they shaved maybe $50-80 off the price.

Personally I would spend the extra for the BenQ. 23" isn't enough, 24" is the perfect amount.

I agree. If you have the money the 2420T is amazing. I bought mine and received it on Tuesday, haven't looked back from a 24" (was using a 2233 for so long, 16:9 really does own 16:10 >_>)

Not sure about this monitor's actual performance, but that's just my experience with the actual size of the monitor. I can't comment on the price etc.

Thank you for pointing this out. Just cancelled my order on a lesser and refurbished 120hz monitor to get this.
