looks hot :)

whats hot about it?

do tell.

why are you buying a LCD and not a CRT?

LCD have ghost, dead pixels, and they have a fixed resolution.. You can't change its resolution. It sucks.

Looks big, I thought CRT was a dying thing?

Thats a nice monitor Airek. You may be a little carefull buying dell though - they tend to have backlight problems.

I like the 20 but i'd rather have 2 17's .. not sure way buut the one big sceen doesn't work for me .. even 2 19" i guess but 17"'s do me just fine

i had lasik surgery and those fucking tubes mess with my eyes. i never want one again. and they take up too much space.

im no graphic artist nor a video editor or care about having ferrari. i surf internt, do some code, html editing, etc etc, webmaster stuff.

i'll never buy a crt again.

ok, thanks.

im always worried to buy anything from ebay. i think that i will end up with someone sending me a picture of a monitor or something. these guys appear to be a real company though

meoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooow

hes just a post whore :winkwink:

I have the 19 and i love it....20.1 could only be better :thumbsup

You wide screen faggots can go fuck yourselfs! Because of you I can't buy a 4:3 bigscreen TV.

awesome thanks man

they're awesome. better yet, get the 24" or 30"

i got (2) 24"s and i love em~!

Looks pretty nice. I might pick up a couple 19" ones when I move into my new place.

yeah i se some of the 24's on there for like 60 bucks more, maybe i'll get that one and another one in a few weeks or a month.

Got dual Iyama 19's at home and dual Benq 23's at the office. I hate working at home now lol

I've never had any of those problems with my 19 inch Samsung LCD - 940bf.

I just got the same one you are looking at now ( dell 20.1 ) 2 weeks ago.

Its pretty freakin sweet.... :thumbsup

Its good but I bought the Samsung 204T and run it at 1600 x 1200. I looked at the Dell and compared that to the Samsung and liked the Sam better.

The display is perfect, colors are perfect, text is razor sharp and when you look at images you get HiDef quality. HiRes pictures are absolutely gorgeous.

I have that exact monitor, and I love it.

Edit: I stand corrected. I have this:

Dell UltraSharp 2005FP Wide Flat Panel w/Height AdjustableStand,20.0 Inch VIS,OptiPlex and Precision,Customer Install

Paid $421 on sale through Dell, with no shipping.

they are bout 80 bucks more. i like the look of this one a little better asthetically too.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

looks really good , i like the small frame

i just picked up a 19" wide screen from wal-mart for $250 and it kicks ass.

Those are good monitors, keep your eyes out at sites like http://www.gotapex.com for coupon deals on Dell monitors, get it from Dell and not Ebay, then if you have any problems with the backlight or pixels it's better covered.

good idea bro. i think i'll do that. i dont need it like today or anything.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

i got this http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/review3383.html

the best monitor imo , had it for half a year and I love it -)

I have 3 samsung 19" monitors and they are very nice. Triplehead baby :D

Looks good.. does it go 360?

looks pimpin :pimp :pimp :pimp

im thinking to go the 24" route now.

the new dell widescreen flat panels use the same Samsung LCD panels as the Apple widescreen monitors use.

I picked up one of these and am loving it.

Maybe five years ago... There's virtually no ghosting nowadays, optimum resolutions do exist along with variants, and dead pixels aren't an issue if you purchase a quality monitor.

Dell monitors are great, go with it :thumbsup

you don't want 20" wide screen, if you get a 20" get the square. If you get a 24" they are the same height as a 20" just wider. I switched from dual 20's to a 24" and it works pretty good. Wish it was 2-3" wider though.

NEC makes real nice LCD's too I have one of those but I just got a new dell laptop and the screen on that is so amazing I can barely stand to look at any of my LCD's 17" widescreen in 1920x1200 or something looks sick

Definably.. that's a sweat monitor.

ya man that's pretty!

I have two of the dell 20.1" widescreens sitting right in front of me. Juicy has the same dual monitor setup. Another cool thing is that i also have my xbox 360 plugged into my left monitor with a vga cable, i can just change the monitor channel and play xbox on one screen and watch stats and instant messages on the other.

thats hot, i should run a splitter from my xbox to the tv and the computer so when i wanna play on the monitor i can. good idea man.

how are they for video editing do you think?

what determines latency?

Nice one.

LOL I just GAVE this exact monitor away to a friend of mine about 2 weeks ago. A 21 Pro. Edit, fuck it was heavy... Actually warped the desk it was sitting on due to it's weight.
