Well, you don't have to worry much about affording it, prices won't go up a cent until the time you decide to buy one..but 'when' can be an issue ;)

i was thinking about picking one of these up, but my main cause of concern is the 1600x1200 native resolution... don't get me wrong, i prefer that, but being that i only have a 9800, i don't think i will be playing games in 1600x1200,

my question is what happens or how severly does it happen when you try to run a game in say 1024x768, or 1280x1024?

i don't want to spend all that money to have to play hl2 and cs source on my old crt (dual mon config :))

Well there is an option to zoom out if you set it to a lower res so there will be no interpolation. There will just be a border around the image.

so it wouldn't look "funny"? just have a border around it? i can deal with that..

(ps, a few digital pics of what a game looks like when you change the resolutions would be nice *nudge nudge :))

I have this monitor and run games/emulators in 640x480 and 1024x768 with a Radeon 9600 Pro. The image still looks sharp and amazing! This might depend on your video card though... not sure. It might look a bit more blury than a CRT.. but I haven't had any complaints :)

I was wondering if this monitor is exactly same as this dell one:

Forget the way it looks, that's different, but I am not sure if the specifications are same for both the monitors, that one is by Benq...and I think Benq makes this Dell monitor..so it got me wondering.

I did it!! bought mine today! I couldn't pass up the price they currently have and the free shipping. Would have been better if California tax wasn't crazy...but all in all, I can't wait for this monitor to get here. going to be a long 3-5 days!!! :-) Thanks for the reviews and inputs that everybody has been posting on here.....I wouldn't have bought with out them. :rofl: :D

    • Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
