New Monitor!

Well, my new monitor just came in. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <a href='http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=621795&Sku=D100-1744&CatId=166' target='_blank'>This is it</a>.

Not a bad deal, if I do say so myself. The picture is nice and crisp, the monitor is big, and the colour controls are varied enough that I don't have to use PowerStrip to correct my brightness and contrast anymore! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It's a flat panel AND it's Sony. How is that 'pwn' in any way, whatsoever?

    huh, sony screens are top-notch.

    They aren't necessarily the best and most certainly aren't the most bang for the buck, but they're amazing nevertheless.

    I also happen to have a sony screen that I just couldn't let go with such a good occasion (both pricing and quality) and I must admit, there's not a single screen I have that was as good as it. Sure, I wouldn't have gotten it new for its retail price, but there's no reason as why to call Sony screens bad.

    It's not even a Dell monitor, they just buy the monitors off some other nubs and rebrand them. ;P

    I'm running off an old Sony monitor that's been holding up really well, it's a flat-screen 17" CRT monitor and gives me a 60fps vsynch at 1024x768 (don't know what all of this Hz buisness is (It says 68.8kHz/85Hz. All I know is it's something to do with refresh rate) which, to me, is fine, seeing as how I'm used to runnning NS at 512x300 with 14 fps. This new computer really is a spectacular leap. ^_^

    Man I want a higher resolution moniter. I have to subsist on this thing which barely handles 1280x1024... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    sony may be good but flat panel is kinda too blurry for high quality, fast paced gaming, no?

    anyway, I got myself a nice bargain samsung 19 incher this x-mas, quite happy...

    Actually there is a good chance that the monitor is a sony, i've seen quite a few dells that were co-branded sony's. Easiest way to tell is open up a white page of some kind and look for a two horizontal lines, one about a third of the way from the top and one about a third from the bottom. Thats also the reason i cant stand sonys the lines stand out to me, some people dont see them though
