|

Please stop buying them. I've been waiting for all the prices to come down, but they know they can gouge us on the prices because people continue to buy them.

I wouldn't buy a monitor just yet anyway. They don't work with the new HD media.

$500 CDN for a 19' LCD monitor is ridiculous.

New LCD Panels are almost as good as old-fashioned CRT's. Mostly due the better Reactiontimes of 7ms and less.
And its less Space Consuming.

Ya around the 70's {I think} the Canadian dollar was worth more than the U.S dollar...I heard that the Canadian dollar will be on par with the U.S. in the near future:] {I hope} |

Fuck, my dad tells me stories all the time of when he was young, his parents would drive to the US to buy shit as our dollar was a good 10 cents more than the US dollar...hopefully, that will come back...atleast even with the US dollar |

exactemundo.
although our dollar increasing hurts our exports, imports (ie all those fancy chips/parts from around the globe) become cheaper -- so the canadian company assembling the shit can do so more cheaply.
