9) Please don't shoot me, but is anything bigger than a 17" monitor worth it?
----------------------------------------------------- Depends on how myopic you are. X seems to eat more resolution than windows. (XMille needs > 1024x768 to fit on the screen!!!) I am interested in running cad/eda type stuff so I needed more than 1024x768 (which is about the limit for a 17" unless you have real good eyes and a dot pitch of < .24). I just got a 19" monitor (Digital Research Tech.) from a computer city store that was going under. (they were taken over by comp usa). The current street price for this was $499, but it was reduced to $468, and D.R.T. had a $100 mail in rebate. So $368 ain't bad for a 19". BTW this is a .26 dot pitch, looks great in 1280x1024 will do 1600x1200 (but my video card won't---don't push it that far thou it will hurt your eyes!) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
