new 24" LCD, pro and con
i brought a new 24" LCD westinghouse brand monitor at boxing day.
it's a PAVN panel, 1920x1200. very sharp.
of course i took this out of my bankroll. cost $379 tax included at best buy.
pro: definely easier multi-table with bigger screen.
con: only 6 table.
i was planning to do 9 table on this monitor plus 4 from my 17" notebook.
but this tile mode goes 1,2,3,4,6,12.......no 8 or 10....disappoint.
i cannot use the monitor with my notebook monitor due to different resolution.....
but over all, 6 tabling is better then 4 table.
i write this to others who may be in the market for new LCD.
if you planning to do more then 6 table. don't be cheap like me. get a 27" or 30" LCD.
i original thinking to purchase 27" for 659 or 30" for 850. because 24" cost 450-550. but when i went to bestbuy, it was onsale for $329. i just can't justify spending extra $300-500bux for 3"-6"bigger.
overall, i'm very happy with quality and size of westinghouse.

Actually that's a very good deal!
The next step up from 1920x1600 is 2560 x 1600.
Last time I checked 30" 2560x1600 monitors were about $1800. (they might be cheaper now)
For that price you can buy a computer, graphics cards and 2 1920x1600 monitors.
Most laptop video cards won't drive a screen at a higher resolution than what the laptop screen is capable of.
Off a desktop it is much easier to multiscreen by adding a 2nd cheap card or a single card that has two outputs.

I have one. It's good, but the base broke the day I got it.
Dude no matter how good the picture is, you still can't have sex with what you see on it.
Not sure if there's been reviews (for good or bad) on this one either though.
lol funny stuff.
