Zolk Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I wasn't sure about widescreen monitors at first either. However, I'm really starting to get hooked on the format after using an Apple 20" Cinema display at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I personally just cannot see the point in such stupid widescreen monitors for a comp, unless your doing some very heavy gaming, or movie watching / editing etc. That's just my opinion though, I'm still happy with my 17" Viewsonic. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g8crash3r Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 I think you will have the same release date with the US or probably a week later, for the price I'm not sure about that. The UltraSharp 2405FPW will be on sale for $1,199 in the Americas and Europe on March 1, 2005http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/g...189&newsLang=en 585471081[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da_Bears Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I, for one, cannot wait. Luckily I ran into this site before making the purchase of the 20". To hear that the 24" was going to be a low priced as it is made up my mind for me in a hurry. I do not think I will have a problem running at native res with some eye candy either. I would ask that someone clarify one thing for me. Is it with a higher res you can turn down the AA?
