Default Ferrari Acer

Im not an expert with this stuff but Im kinda looking for a new monitor. I actually want a 20" or so. This is not for my 360 since the 32" already has that covered. This is just for PC use. Is this thing any good or is it just a novelty item? If it is a decent monitor and has a semi competitive price I might get it. ANYBODY else have it already?
Here is a link:
Amazon.com: Acer Ferrari F-20 20" LCD Monitor: Computers & PC Hardware

Here is the link to the laptop. I need one of those but cant afford at this time. The one I have now is two years old and counting.

Amazon.com: Acer Ferrari 5005WLMI 15.4" Notebook PC (AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, DVD+/-RW/CD-RW Drive): Computers & PC Hardware

That Monitor in my opinion looks like something they rolled off just to make a quick buck. However, you save 59%!!! Hell i say go for it

You're definitely paying extra for the Ferrari paint job and badging, the comparative Acer (Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!, with a better response time, is a good $100 less.

Its a good monitor, but getting dated with a slow refresh, and slightly overpriced badging in my opinion.

I can't comment on this specific monitor, but I've know a lot of people that have used Acer products and are happy with them.
