Anyone know anything about this viewsonic monitor?

^^ Well, it is a TV not a monitor. I'm sure it has a VGA input but wouldn't be as good a true 32" monitor.

Viewsonic used to be pretty good 5-6 years ago, then they almost dropped off the map. I was considering buying their 24" TV when it was on sale a couple of weeks ago.

Edit- and just to add they are also running a 48 hour deals thing:

It's the crap version apparently.

Good eye, that's the small business website for Dell, nowonder it looked so stoic.

For home users, the promo is actually the 48 hour sale for systems.

Awesome thanks! I have an extra airport express in my house, so it'll pick up my music and play it out of any speakers that are plugged into it. I've been meaning to pick up a spare set for the garage and these will do wonderfully.

As much as I despise their ever-spamming ways, Dell is pretty much the only company that ships for free within Canada. $10 speakers shipped for free is A-OK in my book.

Woo they released a firmware update for the U2410 to fix the only complaint I had about it, poor dithering in dark colours in sRGB modes!

I bought the 23" monitor for about $180 on the last round of Days of dells.

The monitor is great for the price you pay... nothing in terms of price is really nearby.

The monitor works great with HD - at least with my Xbox. I haven't been able to try my blueray player yet... it's packed in boxes and getting ready to ship. I can unpack it if you guys actually want a snapshot of the quality.

HOWEVER... there is no moveable stand. It is only tiltable. That's a pretty big flaw as it sits about only a few inches from the base. The brightness also seems to be lacking. I haven't had the chance to play with the settings yet but I'm going back to Edmonton today and I'll see if I can make it brighter.

Regardless, for the price, this is a great monitor if you just use this to watch some movies, surf the web and do work on it. This probably would not work well if you're doing any video editing.
