thats a typo, monitor is for $200.
i replaced it with a flat screen crt tv with vga input.
i've had the betson monitor for about 2-3 years, it works beautifully to this day. fyi, i ran everything at 1024x768 interlaced with soft15. all told, monitor probably has 200-400 hours on it max. majority of the time i use my machine, i am using my projector with teh monitor off in the cab
