Nope, a little too tapped out at the moment. We did get all the shopping done for everyone else thou on Black Friday. I am considering a new phone as a Christmas present to myself, been looking at the Sony Ericson Walkman phones, but I don't know, I can't make up my mind what I want. _________________ No matter how many times you try...you can't clone the dirt off your screen. |

LOL.. yep. Goes well with the new video card, and the speakers I got for Christmas. Put in the new Zalman cooler and it's like a brand new computer:) _________________ For every person with a spark of genius, there are a hundred with ignition trouble. |

You will love it. I couldn;t bellieve the difference. Although I'm not sure if it's the monitor or the card. First time I have ever had a really good version of either one. _________________ For every person with a spark of genius, there are a hundred with ignition trouble. |

Thanks blknights, I've got a good graphics card and I've been more that pleaseed with the ecellent quality of my 18"" Flat Screen TFT Monitor, it was just that I fancied a bigger screen. I was loking at 21" monitors, but the prices was always sky high. However, the prices have dropped recently and I thought I'd spoil myself and get one... If the quality of the picture is as good as I'm getting on my 18" one, I'll be more than pleased... _________________

Just curious.. if you don;t mind my asking. What did you have to dish out for this one? I got mins on sale. $400,00. Regular price was $500.00.
The resolution is great .... I have mine set at at 680 x1050.... and it's excellent. Clear as a bell _________________ For every person with a spark of genius, there are a hundred with ignition trouble. |

Hi again blknights, I reside in the UK so My price was £232:00 but I converted it to US Dollars and it cost $457:00. The actual viewing size of the screen is 474mm X 296mm and the physical resolution is 1680 X 1050. _________________

Hi again Boney m8. I'm located in Canada, so I did the conversion as well. In US dollars I paid 340.00, so I suspect that you might have a better monitir than the one I got. mine is the Samsun 225BW Viewing area and resolution are the same. Contrast ratios 700:1 typical 5ms response time. _________________ For every person with a spark of genius, there are a hundred with ignition trouble. |

I just checked my Contrast ratio and it is:- 1000:1 suppose that's why it cost more. I'm very pleased with it... _________________
