Because of this site, i was able to make a decision on what LCD screen to purchase.
I've been using CRT since the beginning and some of you were probably still in diapers at that time..
Part of me could not make the switch, until today.
I went "all out" and got the Gateway 2485W @ bestbuy.
For those who were thinking of getting this beast and want to save $30 bucks, JR.com has it for $649.99, and bestbuy will match the price!!
Not too bad for a walk-in, walk-out senerio...
In NY, out the door, $706.05!
I have to say, It is massive!!
The features are just plain awesome for this size screen.
* .27mm dot pitch
* 24" Widescreen Monitor
* 6ms response time
* 1000:1 contrast ratio
* 450 nits/s
* 1920 x 1200 native resolution. But looks good in all widescreen formats and * even looks good @ 10x7, 1280 x 1024!
* 1:1 Pixel mapping, which I leave off or set to "Wide".
* 1080p
* two component inputs
* 1 DVI-D w/ HDCP
* 1 VGA
* 1 S-video
* 1 Composite
* Powered 4 port USB 2.0 hub.
* Auto rotation
* Eztouch menu controls
* Finger print-less screen
I really can't believe it took me this long to switch and I quote from "mista ting". "Once you go wide, you'll never go back."
He may be right!
Thanks again!
