Hey all.
I'm a serious amateur and want to upgrade to a flat, wide screen monitor. I've been reading about the Planar line of monitors and they seem to be good. I haven't seen anybody that owns one on this forum or others. the model listed below goes for 800.00 to $900.00 which is in my price range. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. They are popular among gamers.
