Looking to the future, you might want to consider using TWO monitors with the 5000a computer. I use two, rotated 90 deg (they stand "on end"). Some video cards, like my Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT, allow this. When using several accessory programs with PowerSDR the additional pixels are handy.

BTW, the pixel count is usually more important than the physical size - PowerSDR needs a certain number of pixels, for example, and doesn't care about inches. My dual-monitor setup is 1680 pixels high by 2100 wide.

Hi,

I am in the process of putting together a new PC for the 5000A (and
secondarily for Microsoft Flight Simulator).  Thanks to Neal and many others
on this reflector I think I have figured out what parts to get.  The video
card (because of MSFS) was the hardest thing to choose.  I am left with
choosing a monitor.  I am looking for a 21" wide-screen monitor (I think
they measure them side-to-side) that has a good, clear display and is
RF-quiet.  I'll be using it with a Sapphire 5850 video card.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks.
