OPINION PLEASE

For the technically inclined, please educate me. Is this lcd any good? Will the 864x480 resolution ruin someone's eyes who use the computer all day?

I assume you can play 4:3 games correctly (i.e. CS, GTA3, etc) by using the FULL screen right?

I guess it also provides 1600:1200 for the computer, right?

16ms refresh rate is impressive for gaming, isn't it?

Anybody heard of this company?




If you guys can answer all my questions, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks!..........

didn't look at link, just read post, but:
I think this is more of an LCD tv then a monitor....even though it accepts inputs from computers...pretty sure the : "Scan-converts from inputs up to 1,600 x 1,200" just mean it converts that down to its 864x480.

Generally for me at least, and probally others......the bigger the screen and the closer I sit, the higher res I want. Plus I play all my games at 1152x864, or 1280?x1024 on a 19", so with 22" I'd want bigger heh.

My non-expert opinion reached after a few seconds =)
