I purchased it in January and haven't had any problems with it.

Or, for just under an extra $100 you could get one of these (www.ascent.co.nz), which is full HD (1920*1080).

For videos, it means you can watch Blue ray movies on your pc and view them in all their glory :)

For gaming, it means greater detail (if the game supports it).

Also because it's a bigger resolution, it allows you to have more space on your desktop.

764934 2009-04-15 23:35:00 Yep - excellent resolution, heaps of screen real estate, and you can experience full HD glory.

Heroes looks awesome on it. :D

Greater detail means more time spent on the computer. I wonder just how much improvement there would be with a new monitor.

I have been considering upgrading to FSX, but with the demise of ACES studios (the makers of flight simulator) I don't think that I will bother upgrading.

Why ?

764939 2009-04-16 02:44:00 Because of activation issues for FSX and I have quite a few addons that I have bought for FS2004. Plus my current system wouldn't run FSX without stuttering, whereas
FS2004 runs like a dream.
