Thanks, Preston.
So:: boiling it down to a make and a line, now Chuck [[ and you ]]
give thumbs-up on the Dell. "UltraSharp", rt?
A personal note from the cheapes--er, *thriftiest* guy alive:
for a new display, price isn' the driving force. it's quality--
which includes durabiility, function, &c. (actually, i wouldn't
mind 19+.) 20" [[[ and when the hell are we going to join the 18th
Century and go-metric?! ]]] ....20" is about the max since i cram
as many xterms with tiny fonts as possible. so
brightness+contrast matter. [[ if i could get out easily, i
might check out the 24" ... but that would only give me LCD-envy!!
--ah, *life* :-| ]]
Anyhow, ao far, i'm looking at the Hanns-G, the Samsung SyncMaster
(941BW), And possobily the VIewSonic. And the Dell UltraSharp.
(gReat if Costco has these; but i'll try egghead.com too.)
Anybody here in the States have any other recommmendation,
plese gimmmee a shout:-)
