Picked up a 24" Acer LCD monitor at Circuit city today.... Its so sweet....

Circuit City sent out 10% off cards this week and that took the price down to $315 before tax... $330 total...

I have the same exact monitor, except I got mine maybe 2 months ago and payed the full $430 from Circuit City. I love it, congrats on the purchase

Question that popped into my head though. Are you using a DVI cable? For some inane reason, I can't get 1920x1200 to work on a DVI cable. I can set 1920x1200 in windows, but the top and left edge of screen are cut off, because the actual monitor is only doing 1680x1050. Couldn't figure a way around it, so I just have a VGA cable with a DVI to VGA adapter. Any help you could offer would be amazing.

My video cards came with DVI to HDMI adaptors. They should work fine..
