Nope, not a bad price at all  Just got i through the door and set up and am now viewing this site as the first thing on my new screen (besides the startup screen and desktop, of course) It's a lot bigger than I'd anticipated and that's going to take some getting used to. It's a good thing I didn't go for the 24". It simply wouldn't have fit under the windowsill and with the distance I'm sitting from it, I would have ended up having to turn my head to look at the edges  First impression is good though. Nice, crisp picture in full HD and best of all: Win 7 figured out the correct resolution setting right away and there's no sight of the auro adjust feature at all, since I'm now connecting it with HDMI instead of VGA. I'll let you all know if I run into any problems, but I'm not expecting any, so for now: CASE CLOSED excellent choice for the first site browsed. If it hadn't been for all the help I've found here, I might not have my new screen right now, so it only seemed appropriate |

UPDATE:I've had my new screen for a couple of weeks now and haven't had any problems at all. I'm still not completely used to the much larger screen, but I'm getting there. Also, as an added bonus, it seems that the old screen wasn't capable of taking full advantage of my GPU, which I find strange, considering it came with the rest of the computer. Why sell the thing with a screen that can't fully use the GPU to begin with? Either way, the new one can, so I've now got games running at much higher resolutions than I thought possible. Thanks again to everyone for your help

Thanks again to everyone for your help That's one of the major advantage of an all digital link to the monitor. The video buffer can either receive data or provide data. In case of analogue VGA, the timing of the signal is highly critical. The data has to be provided with a very critical timing since the graphic card controls the electron beam in the monitor directly. The timing determines which pixel is displayed where. So the video buffer has to be read with a fixed timing blocking updates of the GPU which has to wait for its turn. With an all digital link, you may have a reasonable jitter in the timing so the GPU has more chances to update the video buffer and now the monitor has to wait for its turn instead of the GPU. |

Thanks again to everyone for your help I'm sure they had a number of different monitor options when the systems were sold. All used the same graphics processor but configured it for the selected monitor. Most newer graphics processors, even on laptops, are capable of operating two monitors at once, but how many people use this option? |
