By Planar, do you mean LCD? Make sure you get ALL the specs. That response time is good, but usually these cheaper ones are analog monitors and not true digital, have poor Dot Pitch specs (DP), poor brightness and contrast ratios. If it only has an HD-15/DB-15 connector, it's analog. You want one with a DVI connector, at least .23dp, high brightness & contrast ratios of at least 250cd & 400:1 respectively. -Clint
Yes, it is analog. Why would I want digital? I don't play games or watch tv or play movies on the computer. I'm an old ahem codger. Retired. Here are the specks. All I do is read mail and surf the internet. Don't have a lot of money, retired mailman.
