There's a new list in town. For those who don't know, Interactive Brokers
(IB) is a broker that allows stocks and futures trading with very low
commissions and several options for programmable trading API's. They have
mostly positive reviews from the posts I've seen with the one consistent
exception being that it is next to impossible to get thru to them on the
telephone during market hours. They appear to be aggressive in terms of
creating new trading options for customers.

I am ready to move from two CRT's (19", 21") to two 19" LCD's (probably will
add a 3rd later). I would like both analog and DVI input so I can phase in
to a DVI card, but if I thought DVI-only was cheaper or better I would jump
straight to that. There was a recent posting on some high quality monitors.
My question for the group is whether these are products where "you get what
you pay for" or if I can shop pretty much by price. Hopefully, the latter.
In the low price category, I find under www.pricewatch.com a couple of
attractively priced options from "JustDeals":
http://store.yahoo.com/justdeals/vidcar.html
One is a generic brand and a black or white option from Sceptre. They have
identical specs. The specs I focus on are the 1280x1024 resolution and
brightness and contrast (250 nit and 500:1, respectively).
I would appreciate any comments on the general subject of price/quality
evaluation, JustDeals.com as a seller, and the particular monitors I am
looking at. Thanks!
