Re: Which Flat Screen

So here's another point of view. We replaced my work CRT (19 inches). It was high quality some 5 years ago, but getting old and a bit flacky in one corner. (Mind you, it was still great for spreadsheets, emails, and powerpoint.) We bought Samsung 910T's, 19 inch flat screens. I can't believe t

Godfrey, You'll want to check pricing on the 2005FPW, as it lists for $749CDN right now (On sale for $599CDN), not $799USD. Just checked Dell's site and that panel is $549USD list and currently on sale for $463.20. The Apple is $799USD or $999CDN. All prices from the respective Webstores. And

Congratulations. I bought a 61 inch Pioneer Plasma HD monitor a few weeks ago. I got a good deal, but it was still very pricey. Gotta hook the computer up to it one of these days, but I'm still busy amazing myself with HD satellite broadcasts and upsampled DVDs. Paul On Dec 15, 2005, at 3:41 AM

I don't mind admitting that I'm an iPerson. I have zero time or interest in understanding the circuitry or specs of monitors or computers, I just like them to work. If it's as far removed from Bill Gates as I can get, and with flashy design that I can jack off to, even better :-) Cheers, Cott
