Is Acer's 20" lcd widescreen monitor worth the price?

Acer® Ferrari F-20, 20in Digital Active Matrix TFT Wide-Screen LCD/TV (Retail Box), Black/Red (http://www.pccanada.com/viewitem.asp?id=4250)

No IMHO

Doesn't $700 seem outreageous for a 20"? :shrug:

I was looking for an F-19 (19") model a month ago and the cheapest I could find it was $450+ It's a nice monitor but not worth it until it comes down in price. It's obvious you are paying for the logo.

The only thing with a Ferrari label worth the price is a Ferrari.

That price is in CAN and not USD. With conversion it works out to be about $580-590 which is still a little high I guess for the size of the monitor but damn that paint is sexy.

Also it does come with a built-in TV tuner. Plus us Canuks have a hard time scoring those sweet Dell deals.

I think it's *#$$-ugly

I like my tft's with as little surrounding the screen as possible. My Neovo has edges of barely 1.5cm.

I'd take this over Dell's 21" widescreen any time a day, plus they got them at Egg for $580.

it's exactly the same monitor, except with no Ferrari logos.

it'll cost approximately 60 bucks less.

It's called ''Marketing'' used to get ''#&*@ People'' buy things they actually don't need or have use for. That's how capitalism works.

Do remember that a widescreen 20 inch isn't as big as a 4:3 20 inch, it's more like a 17 inch with extra width.
4:3 20 inch = 16 inches across top, 12 inches high = 192sqin
16:9 20 inch = 17.4 inches across 9.8 inches high = 170.5sqin
4:3 17 inch = 10.2 inches high.
