I was actually amazed at how cheap they've gotten. I've had two 18.1" LCDs for many years. I got them after a nice side job and they were very cheap (for the time) at $600 each. Well - one of them finally gave up the ghost last week - a lamp blew - and I started looking for two more. I couldn't afford top of the line - in any case my old ones were fine and they were nowhere near top of the line even when new. Pretty much anything would better them. After a lot of looking I actually went brick and mortar. Using a sale and a "10% off $100 or more" card at Circuit City I got two 22" widescreen LCDs (by Acer, 1680x1050 res, no extras) for around $550 total. Still expensive, yes - but nothing NEAR what I thought I'd be spending. The 22" widescreen (16:10 ratio) is about the same height as my old 18" (4:3 ratio) but about 4" wider. Although these have a much smaller bezel (my old ones had a 2" bezel - these are less than a 1/2"). In general everything is just a tad larger and I've got more desktop space - 3360x1050 pixels worth! And, because they've declared Remote Desktop a security breach I'm stuck working on my 1024x768 laptop screen all night. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
