And, yes, I know that some of you have better than that, but I'd be jealous if you told me ;-) >Since HD TVs generally have an aspect ratio of 16:9, 1080 rows will >require 1920 columns (pixels, that is). 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. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
