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. msg53814/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Not sure what this means ... I presume it refers to the Linux console, or similar, on bootup, and is a result of the graphics card used (different cards produce different 'system text'). Certainly in Gnome, KDE or whatever you can use as large a font as you like, although 9pt Tahoma is perfectly good for me as the screen is so phenomenally sharp. I bought an iiyama 4636D (18.1 TFT) a few months ago. Although it cost the princely sum of £936 it was worth it; I haven't regretted it for a minute. Compared with a CRT there is: - - less power used (40W max; my old iiyama 19 CRT used 300W max); - - little heat; - - very little space taken up (there's no depth to it); - - a wonderfully clear and sharp screen (especially with DVI output); - - no more tired eyes or headaches (in my case); - - no more degaussing or playing with geometry controls to try to get an (almost) rectangular picture ;) Alastair - -- Alastair Scott (London, United Kingdom) http://www.unmetered.org.uk/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE83N6jCv59vFiSU4YRAq4lAKCXArecRvZZ0I/ObDNaTdBE+5u2awCgvuor qrBbiXLxMQH8QXOuSyHNKKA= =0cTh -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
