We're not going to get into another of those "my {least favorite disk
drive} sucked more than yours, until I based it with a hammer" arguments
are we? ;^)
Mark, I assume you were the initiator of this thread? What do you want
in a monitor? Absolute best, price be damned? Best you can get for
$XXX? Something that is stable and has good color, and will do at least
XXXXxYYYY pixels without driving your eyes blinky?
Come to think of it, this is another discussion I hate. Go to your
local computer store, look at some monitors that seem nice, then search
for them on the web. Or try http://oracle.uvision.com to search for
prices.
