what is the ratio? 800:1? 1000:1?

Also, for that price and for it being second hand, the video card is awefully small. I'd say about 600 to 650

It's run-of-the-mill and the video card is seriously low & slow.

If you want the monitor you want a video card to match. upgrade to at least a geforce 7600 .

I have some reservations about that system, especially if it is second hand. I think you would have a good chance of building a better system for an equal or perhaps slightly greater price.

You aren't being raked, but it's not a "sweet deal" by any means. That is a 600,000 system. The monitor is slow (8ms), the graphics is old, the HDD is small, the CPU is dated, the sound and LAN are all on-board so who cares, keyboard mouse combos are cheap as air (for the more generic)...

I say pass or bargain it down.
