We’re not PC monitor connoisseurs but at least we have preferences when selecting a decent monitor to handle blue-ray, gaming, audio work, etc. Forget the majority of LCD TVs offering only a 60Hz refresh rate, even where some around 24-inches still suffer producing only up to 720P. With proper hardware of course, get into sick HD feeds w/ a 1080P HDMI monitor for less then $200. There are 2 pretty sweet deals, woot’s deal expires 10PM PST 8/19, and costco.com through 9/6.

Geestreet.net’s favorite come-up for the entire weekend! Hopefully there’s a location nearby because here’s the catch: You have to visit a local Micro Center location, deposit $5 for your reservation, then pay the additional $30 when you pick it up between 8/14/09 – 8/30/09…. we believe that’s it (not too sure about tax, its basically a $25 coupon off retail.). The offer looks good Friday 8/7/09 to Sunday 8/9/09, limit 1 per customer. I’ve never visited a Micro Center store, but will be making my first appearance 6 days from now!

Xbox 360 heads… I’m hoping you guys catch this. Check for a Micro Center nearby. OC and Bay Area covered.

Daily Check-up: Xbox 360 games at retail – if you own this console, you know how expensive these can get.
