I've always wanted to own one of these...whatever size. I simply love these Hp monitors design and build. Im picking this up for my younger brother. The native res is 1440x900 with your regular DVI, VGA and Audio-In inputs. Its only gonna be used for school work(spreadsheets, Word, Excel etc etc) and watching Anime and some movies. No gaming at all. Ive seen the demo and theres really nothing I don't like about this monitor.

Im just not sure about the price. I can pick it up from the store 10mins away for CAD $120. Should I buy it? Im just not sure if the price is decent or I could do better at this price range? ...keeping in mind the shipping charges and the wait through an online purchase.
