They've been going for around the £300 - £320 mark.. I've been watching quite a few recently.. I got lucky cos the bloke I bought off someone let him down on MM..

Explain to me what the 1:1 mapping is?

1:1 mapping is where say you have an input signal of 1280*1024 but your monitor can display 1920*1200.

You have two choices, stretch the display to the full 1920*1200 but sometimes features, faces etc look stretched and odd. With 1:1 you literally only use 1280*1024 pixels on the screen with black bars (of unused screen area) around the image. This does become more of an issue with the bigger the monitor you are using.

Hence why a lot of people are pissed at paying 750ish for a benq that still isn't fully supportive.

I'm very tempted

.. Ijust had my bonus too.

Can I pop round for a games demo this weekend if you are around?

I could have fit them on my old desk but on my current one I can't even fit the one 26", so i've had to go back to the 19"

The 27" version is currently on 25% off introductory offer.

Tempting, but having just laid out a load of money for a hotel, that's my treat money gone for the next three months.

Of course, if I get a bonus end of May, things might change.

I think that 27" is getting a bit big for a pc monitor. The 1900*1200 res is something that i've used in the past. Certainly dual monitors is something else, but getting that kind of raw size per monitor is pushing it a tad for me.

It's a valid point, I actually struggle much more using the PC on my 43in plasma than I do the ones on the 20in monitor. I think I'd cope though, and given my eyesight it might actually allow me to bump the resolution above my stock 1024x768.
