OKAY !!! Deal

Reviews aren't that great for this product. Most people say that graphics are bad b/c it runs on 1024x768 on 18.1". Thats very few pixels for such a big screen. Here's review I found online:

The Lowdown: If you need a big, easy-to-read screen and you don't require high-resolution graphics, Princeton's VL1812 may fill the bill.

The Princeton VL1812 LCD is a big, basic, analog-only flat panel that's functional but not very flexible. Its base tilts, but it has no swivel or telescope capability. Its performance won't impress you either. In ZDNet Labs' DisplayMate-based tests, the VL1812's image quality appeared adequate but not great. We found slight blurriness or shadowing around black text, some tendency for colors to bleed between pixels, and imprecise shades of grays and colors. The VL1812's other image problem stems from the fact that this monitor spreads its 1,024x768 resolution over an 18-inch (diagonal) panel--that's too few pixels for too many square inches of screen. After all, 15-inch screens commonly display the same 1,024x768 resolution. Other 18-inch LCDs, such as the Envision EN-8100e, typically have maximum resolutions of 1,280x1,024 or higher.
 
that monitor's resolution sucks, I work at best buy and we have the Mag 18inch 1280x1024 with 450:1, its really good and thats the price constantly after rebate (450-50), so it aint a limited time, check out the best buy website they might have it, or in store, its a black 18 inch mag.
