What size are those? :D We just put in another round of Dell 21's. Very very nice monitors....made by Samsung I believe. :headbang: Got a Dell 19 on my desk next to a 19 Samsung.

What's the dot pitch on that? So many of those monitors look sleek but the picture quality is terrible, blurry. My boss bought one from Dell without really knowing the quality, because he liked the small footprint. He got used to the blurriness but if he had known, he wouldn't have bought it.

Those things are really expensive, even for the crummier ones. Looks pretty damn cool though. :D

My 1901FP is 0.294 mm. It does have a bit of blur on some bold text, but only when on VGA, the blur goes away on DVI. I'm still waiting for an excuse to buy a dual DVI card.

Only about half of them have comps over 1ghz though. :retard2:

This one is .225 It says it's a 20.1 inch, with 20.1 viewable. I guess LCD's don't do the whole 17" /15.9 viewable thing. This will be a good upgrade for me, I'm using a 17 CRT now. Although, yes Cat. It's going on a 1 Gig PIII. :shrug:

749 bucks. I surely wouldn't spend that on myself. The USB ports will be nice though, beats reaching around behind it now for my memory stick.

One thing about LCD monitors: They have a "max resolution" which should be called "the only resolution you actually want to run." Most 17" LCDs (mine included) have a "max" resolution of 1280x1024. Run it at that resolution and pictures are sharp as sharp can be... run it at any other and it looks like ass.

It took me a little bit to get used to the new monitor... but now that I am the picture looks downright soft and blurry on the old Sony (I gave it to my mom when I built a system for her).

Just heard from our dell rep the other day that the 2005FPW are marked way down (almost $500 now). 20" widescreen with Picture-in-Picture. PiP on a freakin monitor? I don't know whether to laugh or be interested.

It probably has the s-video inputs, I installed a 20" flat for a customer recently, that connected to his satelite dish output, and his security system

doesn't say.....our regular dells are just DVI/VGA, but I have seen some flat panels (Viewsonic, I think?) with built-in TV tuners and other inputs. S-video, etc would be nice.

$500ish....didn't ask further....didn't want to know. I bought these 19's at higher prices a year ago, and not ready for replacements yet. I'd get too tempted. :D
