Wow, I posted this in case anyone was looking for a cheap monitor.  Didn't expect a "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" thread.  :lol

Well, that wasn't really mine.  It was one just like it.

Opinions?

It's supposed to be OTW.

My son said early Xmas present?

New puter in the works as well.

Quad core? AMD with a Nvidia 260?
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

The monitor looks nice.  No way to know for sure until you try it.

As to the computer I'd stick with Intel over AMD and, unless you do a lot of graphics work or video editing I'd stick with a Core2Duo over a Quad core.

[EDIT]  The best "short" explanation I found on the Internet:  "In terms of gaming performance, a Dual Core CPU will probably give you better performance and value today as dual core CPU’s are clocked higher and games can only handle one or two threads at once.  Quad core CPU’s should excel in video editing, design, and pure mathematical calculations as more applications are multithreaded for 2 or more cores."

The Hyundai has a 5ms refresh. Thats why its so cheap. For gaming you want 2ms and it will be a few dollars more.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

I've never seen much of a difference when you get under 8ms.  8+ and you'll see ghosting.

I hear you but I'm not the one buying it.  It's a gift.
