Default my new toy

Well I finally decided which I was going to get with regards to the Dell vs Benq. After seeing that the Benq still hadn't fixed the 1:1 mapping issue and the WZ technology was a load of crap, the extra £250 just wasn't worth it. So I brought the Dell 24", which is a very very good choice! Its worth every penny.

The people who were moaning about it, well I think they want too much. Sorry for the pictures as they were taken with a nackered old digital as my other one is out of batteries.

To compare, my old 19" is on the right running my server. However I can switch between it running the server and dual screen for my main rig

Very nice indeed, I'd have had one of those if I'd had the space for it but I didn't so I got the 20" instead.

Niiiiice. Burble's 2x 24" Dells do look impressive - I need to get me some of that... but first I need to buy a house so that might have to wait

Will, I think Paul has me beat on that one, I don't think I could fit 2 of them on my desk.... although

Its £450 +£25 p&p from ebay or £515 from the evil shop Yep you can have a demo if you want.

Just read your other thread as well. I am going to have to upgrade to run this screen at 1920*1200. I have an opteron @ 3ghz and a very overclocked x1900xtx, but I can't see it cutting it. Still it will give your 8800gtx something to munch on.

Welcome to the world of big monitors. I have an Eizo S2110W and I want another. They've come down £100 but I doubt my mum would like me buying another one (she hates me "wasting" my money on PC stuff).
