No, actually I meant 1200p, for a 1920x1200 monitor; they say that the
mind is the second[1] thing to go. And, yes, I know that some of you
have better than that, but I'd be jealous if you told me ;-)

Indeed, but why limit computer monitors to what the TV's have? :-(
BTW, when I got my 24" panel I was shocked to realize that it weighed
less than the systems unit and far less than the 20" CRT it replaced.
I suppose that in 5 years I'll find this panel to be both too heavy
and too small.
[1] I can't remember the first.
