    New to World of Warcraft

    Well, I bought this game thinking that there would be a single player mode. It says that I have to create an account for "billing". Am I right in thinking that I'm going to be charged every time that I play this game? Is it only playable online with others? Thanks

    I know that I'm not using the correct terminology, but has anyone noticed the image at the top of their 2405 bowing down in the middle? I'm seeing the top corners of the image flush but it curves down to the center about 1 millimeter. I thought that I was seeing things at first. I'm using the...

    AS500 sound bar and 2405

    I just installed an AS500 sound bar on my 2405. I should have asked this before, but has anyone heard of any issue with the sound bar causing video distortion in the monitor? I haven't seen this, but if anyone has had any problems, I'll probably send it back and use my regular speakers. I don't...

    2405FPW shipped today!

    I can't wait to get it, but I'm nervous. Will my Dell Dimension 4550 with the 64MB NVideo GeForce4 MX420 provide full widescreen resolution at 1920 x 1200? Will it look awful over the VGA connection? We shall see. Hopefully it will look good for just business apps and internet browsing. I...
