    Well you got me im not doing bad in the hood only been pimping a little, got me crushed velvet suite and the bling blign :).

    I've got Ultramon now and have sorted out the monitors so I've got 2 displays and 2 start bars. Each start bar shows the windows that are active in the screens which is nice :). Games run sweet as :) and as im running all my games at the designated resolution 1280x1024 i have no problems with screen hickups. Very happy still they are damn nice.

    Pygobombe - Id have to say it would take you a while to rob me of all my expensive stuff i have quite a bit :).
    H - Yeah its a very nice keyboard, good range excilent to type with and a all round good unit. Hot keys work fine even in Winamp which my old MS keyboard didn't do, also the little LCD on the mediaPad is quite handy shows me when i get an email etc.

    Dual screen gaming - There is a thread around that probebly explains better or if :kna: would like to step in. Basicly there are some games, mostly Q3 engined based that will alow you if you use Span accroos both screens to play the game on both so in theory your taking 2 screens and making oen long one say 2 1280x1024 screens would give you an overall res of 2560x1024 meaning you got yourself a stupidly huge screen lol. Q3 doesn't really work that well on a dual setup as yoru curser ends up in the middle which is damn anoying so i've got to wait till i get the 19" Flatron TFT hehe[i tried to be quite tom:S] urm thats about it do a google search if you want to find out more.


    thanks
    morgan.

    Wow, how come you need two of those hot mamas? Wouldn't one do the job? Then you could sell the other one very cheap on ebay. To me. :hehe:

    Is it just for gaming?

    He did well running that laptop with the imaginary LCD in it then!

    According to Google, LCDs have been being mass produced since 1988 by Sharp! And as ZeroCool was so 1337 I'm sure he would have been an early adopter (if he were actually real that is!) So there! :cooldude:

    I'm so tempted to buy two of these as well! They look so good next to each other and my god I need dual screens (I can't live without them, although I am now as my secondary screen burned out :wallbash: ).

    Is the actual screen area of one of these the same as the screen area a normal 19" CRT has?

    The cheapest I can find them at is 464 euro, so that's a bit more than 900 euro for two! Damn man, you can buy a decent PC for that price :eeek:

    €464 for a 19" TFT!?? That sounds pretty damn cheap to me.

    (Not that I would ever use anything other than a CRT for my primary display of course. :p )

    acri, acri, acri, you have dissapointed me again :waah:

    I didn't say a 19" TFT for €464, but for those TFT's M_D_K has now. I was just wondering if the screen-area of a 17" TFT is the same as that on a 19" CRT. ;)
