$235.00 Est. at Amazon

from DCB, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: unless you are a professional photographer or graphic artist that will spend well over $1000.00 on a monitor just buy it you will not be sorry.
from Alinator, www.newegg.com
to find a better general purpose monitor at any price.even though it uses a tn lcd panel, you can adjust the color balance so it does a passable job on photo work for all but the most demanding jobs.
from www.amazon.com
i'm using it for all sorts of tasks - video and picture editing, blu-ray movies, internet, etc.
from www.amazon.com
as is common with all other tn monitors this monitor is not suitable for photo realistic editing and the vertical viewing angle must be adjusted precisely.
