Ohhh yah baby got a 19" widescreen flatpanel monitor (http://www.westinghousedigital.com/pc-46-3-19-widescreen-monitor.aspx) yesterday for my B-day (which is thurs.)!!!!:bunny:

My in-laws picked it up for my wife from best buy for $159.00!!!! they now have it listed for $249.00!!!! it was one of those only 4 per store suck ya in and make ya spend more $$$$ deals.:ogre:

Me likes it, no issues with gaming except those games that don't offer widescreen resolutions. It does have about 4 dead pixles, but totaly not a big deal unless you are REALLY looking for them on a black screen.


One question though. I am using the D-Sub mini 15 pin connection, but is it worth getting a DVI-D cable as my graphics card uses that connection as well?

Necropost. Yeah, DVI is superior. It's maximum bandwidth is 7.4Gbit/S, whereas; the HD15 is just a beefed up version of the classic VGA, which runs on like a sixth of the bandwidth(Not sure of actual figures.)
