    1080p or not

    yea i was planing on getting a TV Wonder 650 - High Definition for a tv tuner. just to have a hd compatible tuner for a future upgrade i dont have hd service i just have analog cable. the monitor wont be anymore then 20ft away so i was just thinking that i was just wondering if a 24" was overkill

    1080p or not

    due to the amount of money involed in getting a 24" (sry if i seem cheap, someone has to pay for college) i think im going with a 8800 gtx and a SAMSUNG 226BW Black 22"

    1080p or not

    Thank you that was a very informative post, it clears up the fact that there isnt much diffrence between 1080p and a regular monitor. it does make sense that I should go for a gtx, but having different thoughts on a 23"er seems that newegg only has 2 on its site (not saying that only 2 exist)...

    1080p or not

    Thats what I thought Those monitors look great but seeing that a good 22" goes to about the mid $300 mark and 24" start at $440 I would really looking to spend under $400 So in other words which one would u recommend for under $400? I guess it isnt going to be a true 1080p :( (damn liers)
