They don't make them like this anymore. This monitor has served us faithfully since I bought it in 2000, when it cost $1000 new. It is working perfectly and has no scratches, marks, or blemishes of any kind. It has an almost completely flat screen, and built in heavy duty VGA cable. Look up its specifications and reviews to see how well respected this monitor is. I've seen a used one for $300 US on line, if you are local to the area where the seller is. If you are looking for a quality monitor of high reliability at an unbeatable price, here it is. It has outlasted many of our flat screen monitors by a long way and shows every sign of continuing to do so for a long time to come.
