19in LCD hp L1925 $500 Good Deal?

Hey guys,

Doom 3 looks great on my 19inch Flatscreen SAMSUNG monitor (.23 dpi), but we just got these new hp L1925 monitors in at work and man are they awesome. They are so much softer on the eyes, the picture is a lot more clear...they just rock and I'll be Doom 3 looks 100 times better on these things. Anyway, I have the opportunity to buy one for $500 ($650+ value) and I was wondering if this was a good deal or not. It sounds good to me.

ive looked everywhere for an affordable 19 inch LCD (for around $500) that will give me 1600x1200 res and they do not exist...unless i want to drop $1000 on it which to me seems very impractical.

i'm not sure what the response time is
