      Getting hard to pass up at that price. To bad Neweggs return policy for dead pixels sucks.

      It is a nice display for 300 bucks...No DVI is kinda weird though.

      I bought the (same?) HannsG 28" with HDMI (includes DVI to HDMI adapter) for $329 plus $20 S&H from Costco.com. Mine arrived yesterday and it's freaking HUGE. The only negative is that when first setup it's blindingly bright. It took about 20 minutes playing with the controls to get it where I like it but it's still a bit bright for a softly lit room. A little more adjustment would probably help but anything that huge is going to put out a ton of light.

      Also the stand is not adjustable for height and if you wall mount you'll find that the screw holes are spaced for a LCD TV mount and not a LCD computer monitor mount.

      #2, It comes with a Hdmi-dvi adapter so you can use it with the dvi out on your graphics card.

      Ben really needs to include that in his description.

      finally bit the bullet- actually, it is $359 - $30 + tax ($24) + recycling fee ($16) = $369.

      But that is better than Costco = $329 + shipping ($20) + tax ($24) + recycling fee ($16) = $389

      "actually, it is $359 - $30 + tax ($24)

      Where does the tax come from? Is Newegg charging sales tax now?

      #9 - Newegg is based out of CA, thus tax for CA residents.
