Widescreen delicious

This really isn't a tech blog by any stretch of the imagination, but after searching around for shits, giggles, and some more shits, I found a widescreen LCD monitor that doesn't break the bank and offers a small compromise in terms of screen size. I'm looking to hook up an external monitor to my current trusty Lenovo Thinkpad to enable better web design (my small 15" screen just isn't doing it for me, my CSS alignments are usually a little out of wack), and voila:

$79.99 after instant savings at TigerDirect, this baby is an analog signal in (which sucks if you're thinking of hooking it up to a newer PC with HDMI output, but not too shabby if you're just hooking it up to a basic VGA output like most laptops, and mine, have), this is pretty much the best deal I found after cruising eBay NewEgg and Geeks.com (the last one there has a pretty good list and pricing of peripherals and tech odds and ends though). The same model typically goes for $99 Buy It Now on eBay, and that doesn't include shipping, wtf mate? . The one tradeoff is the size though, 16" (15.6" diagonal - bummer) isn't that great, but it does offer a widescreen aspect ratio which my lappy does not. Plus for about $10 more on the list price I could easily get a 17" or perhaps even a 19" if I keep looking, but those usually come with digital and analog displays both, and my laptop display may end up looking like butt. Analog butt. I also love that Lenovo (the same makers of my laptop so hey, there's something to be said for consistency in purchasing) chose such an anomalous size for a widescreen monitor. "17 inches? 22 INCHES? Fuck you, that's what. 16 inches, spread the word, bitches."

I'm contemplating getting it, but first I need to raise a little cashola. Still, for anyone out there within the US looking for a fairly ok online buy for a monitor (and seriously, what else are you gonna do, go to Circuit City? Yuk yuk, is funny joke. Best Buy, meh), this be the deal to look at, I guess.
