Need help finding this monitor

[cpmer]

Ive been looking for a Diamond Pro 930SB-BK 19inch monitor everywhere but still cant find one. Theres two kinds of these..i dont want the 700 dollar spectre view one,i just want the 300 dollar regular one. Ive checked around at a lot of sites and searched a lot but still cant find one place to buy one from. I was wondering if anyone still knows a place that sells one?

I like your loyalty but cannot help but wonder why you are so set on getting this monitor when there are so many other good ones out there? I used to love Sony Trinitrons. Now I hate them. I converted to Samsung LCD's which (in my opinion of course) are breathtaking...and not all that much more than what your want to spend o the Diamond Pro.

I want a monitor that cand do 125hz at 1280x720 for playing quake 3. This is the only monitor that ive seen in the 19inch range that can do that. Im willing to pay the money for it but i just cant find it anywhere

anyone have any suggestions?

I believe there is a similar monitor by another manufacturer...the 991SB? maybe?

It's because this CRT is better than your LCD. Sorry, but for gaming or for video a CRT beats your LCD.

The only way you can get one now is refurbished. Have you considered the viewsonic P95f?

Wow Johnjkr1 that really is dissapointing to hear. I was really looking foward to purchasing that monitor. I really dont want to buy a refurbished one so i guess i might have to settle for the 991fb. I have considered the viewsonic p95f but ive heard some mixed reviews about it but was wondering if it will do at least 125hz at 1024x768 if anyone knows the answer to that it. I would would really appreciate it very much.

Just a quick question, why get a monitor just for its insanely high refresh rates? After 85Hz, the monitor refreshes so fast that your eyes can't tell a difference (as opposed to 60 to 85).

2xtreme21 yes your right in most games in doesnt even matter but in quake 3 u can tell the difference even though its not drastic its still noticeable. Basicaly for any other game or at least the ones i know of it really doesnt matter past 85Hz. Quake 3 is designed to run at 125fps so having the refresh rate to match it makes it seem very smooth but isnt necessary at all. Plus this is very good monitor when it comes to picture quality as well.
