I have a Sceptre Komodo II. It works fantastic, especially after I configured X specifically for the display parameters rather than letting those get set by EDID detection. Low refresh rate, high contrast. Never had any problems getting it working. Supports both Analog and DVI connections. The speakers are nothing to scream about and I don't use them but the monitor is very nice. When or if you get an LCD, might I suggest not using auto detection for the monitor settings but rather configuring Xorg specifically for the display. I posted a howto a short time ago. http://kislinux.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=189 ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
