hey dudes and dudettes (if any),

needin a monitor for my sweet as cruze machine tongue.gif my CRT 15" just aint cutting it, between its curved front, its lack of brightness, or its ability to pick the worst moments to change the hue of everything to a peculiar shade of greenish yellow, ive decided i need something bigger, brighter, flatter and well....bigger (and stays the same colour...)


anyone got an LCD or even a Plasma around??

i dont mind wether its a tv or monitor i can use either... in fact i could just about go for a projector or a 42" plasma hung on my bedroom wall laugh.gif

cheers

edit, wrong place sorry... move it please....

edit number 2, im on a roll... we need to set up an insomniacs anonymous group on here, theres allways about 6 or 7 of us online from midnight till 5am laugh.gif

If you want a good op resolution , 26 would be the biggest ... in saying that you need the graphics card .. many still use the 17 but surly must be looking to upgrade

Why don't you get a pair of 19" 4:3 screens ? Gives you loads of screen real estate and it's a lot more flexible than a single big widescreen.

Insomniac ? Me ? Never ...

That's not Intosomething, that's closettrauphobic.
