    Oh yeah.......gotta love the high resolution! With WUXGA (1920x1200) I can fit around 55 cells (vertical) in excel. It will be a very nice upgrade. I work with 2 pdfs or word docs side by side on a daily basis. I have a 15.4'' screen lol.

    dual/triple screens FTW!

    if you look at slickdeals.net, u might be able to get a 22-24" 1080p for that price...

    if you are into photoshoping/(really accurate colors needed), look for a non-TN panel.. they are more expensive, but gives a better color range, good if u are wokring in photoshop

    I have a 23.5" viewsonic. Its great and the reviews are great everywhere. If there's a costco near u and u know someone with a membership go scoop one up for $220. 2ms response, HDMI port, and costco's liberal return policy.. The 3 year limited warranty is a nice bonus no matter where you buy it from.
