"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:-) gary > > Preston > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
