edit: what res are you used to using anyway?

edit edit: maybe im wrong but i belive 1440x900 is the highest res you can find for a 19' widescreen. thats all i can find atleast.

hmm, yeah i'm really not sure. i use 1280x1024 on my (now dead) 19" CRT, but on my 17" widescreen laptop i use 1920x1200

if you say it's not bad, then it probably isn't.

F a C e is on a distinguished road
I just bought one of these today:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824116381

Loving it so far!! No dead pixels or backlight bleeding, as far as I can tell. Oblivion at this monitor's native res. looks facking amazing! I just wish I could get 1680x1050 working at 75Hz via DVI connection.. it works fine with the analog connection, for some reason, and mouse movement just seems much "smoother".

Anyone have any suggestions?

Let me know..for now it's time to play some Condemned on this awesome thing.
