No idea what this thin characters thing is about... I've got this exact LCD monitor (using it as a "dual-head" with my 19" NEC monitor)... works great. It looks *much* better than my 19"... truth be told, if 19" LCDs didn't cost so much, I'd trade in my 19" beast for a LCD monitor any day. As it is, I like my 1600x1280 resolution on it too much to trade it in, and 1024x768 is ok, but not enough for me anymore. Mind you, two 15" LCDs side by side might work... at any rate, I've got this monitor and just love it. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6.4mdk uptime: 3 days 5 hours 21 minutes.
