Got my new flat panel monitor

[biffbacon]

I just got my new dell 18" flat panel and hooked it up. damn its huge. recommended resolution is 1280x1024. almost too big. but wow i love it

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

love mine too

 

[biffbacon]

damn, nice

 

[biffbacon]

are those 18's?

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

same as the one you got. 1800FP.

 

[RossMAN]

My 1900FP > 1800FP

However you paid about $250 less

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

you got yours for $488? nice.

edit: $406 for the first one, $238 for the second.

 

[Kadarin]

$488? Damn.. that's about what I paid for my Viewsonic CRT back in '98... how times change.

 

[biffbacon]

i got a steal through bensbargains. i ended up getting the 1800fp + keyboard/mouse + digital Camera + comp (2ghz celeron/ 128 ram/ 30 gig hd) all for 558$. the monitor alone should have been 509$. im going to sell off everything except the monitor, and cam, and hopefully make most of the money back

yeah, good point. why isn't this there instead?

 

[biffbacon]

sorry, didnt mean for it to be a brag and moan thread, i was just excited that i got the new monitor... then others started talking about deals, so i had to let loose

 

[amdskip]

I sold my monitor and computer already. I'm kickin myself for not keeping it now. I coulda had duals too!

1702 > 1800, but don't tell anyone

 

[ThePresence]

Welcome to the club! I love my 1800FP.

 

[EvilYoda]

yeah yeah yeah, shuddup. Hopefully there'll be another huge deal later this summer so I can jump from single 17" CRT to dual 18" LCDs.

ultramon

edit: confused by what you meant.

the original image was normal size. I stretched it to 2560x1024, chopped it in two, and set the wallpaper for each in that prog.

other way of doing it is just to make the image that size, and don't stretch it. (but I like ultramon's other features)

So are LCD's better than CRTs as far as clarity, and other 2d stuff?

I don't care about games.

Generally, at least on par, if not better.
