Cheapo 17" monitor at Staples

[crazyray]

This "Pixie" brand monitor is $99 after rebate. Any good? Anybody run into this brand before?

Pixie thats like the mother of all monitors. Unfortunatly I dont know if they have kept up with the times. Check the max refresh rate dot pitch ect.

There website shows the 15in version and if the 17 is close to the same, NO if you want high performance. 60hrz refresh .28 dot pitch would be low end. Higher end would be like 150hrz .22 DP

I have a recently purchased Pixi 17 and its ok, there are a few versions of it, the case has changed 3 times but its the same inside, I just got a Proview 17 last week from Circuit City for 119$ and I like it alittle better then the Pixi side by side...

Well check this for silly....Im staring at a Pixie right now. So many names on the box RIC/Multiscan but lastly and most important is By Pixie. BTW its not great but it gets me by. Its an 19" 85hrz .22/.26. It is only a year old and I have needed to set it "cooler" to keep it from getting wierd on me.
