Low price and good monitor?

I found a monitor for $255, optiquest and Viewsonic, I wondered about the dot pitch. The smaller it is the better it is, right? Well, right now on my current monitor I have 0.25 dot pitch, the one I want to get has 0.23 horizontal and 0.14 vertical and has a refresh rate of 80hz at 1600x1200 resolution. Is it a good deal for $255?
thank, You

If you want a good perfectly flat 19" monitor for a good price, I'd recommend the Samsung 955DF over anything else.

it's geometry:
sqrt((.23)^2 + (.14)^2) = .27

I have not yet begun to procrastinate.

from what ive read .25 dot pitch is quality if your computer is at that now why get new monitor? or do you just want a bigger one?

I can barely see the difference between .25 and .28.
I wonna bigger one, mine is AWFUL colors are awful, my friend owns ViewSonic PS790 .27 , not flat, but shadows in games are nicier and colors. Mine is Tatung(unknown company ,right?). I need good refresh rate I like to play some 2D games in 1600x1200 res, I don't even have such high one and at 1280x768 I have 60Hz refresh RATE!!! CAN"T SATND EVEN 5 SECONDS!!! HURTS MY EYES!!!!!!
