Nice Igg, I hooked two 17" crt's up to my pc the other day and it rocked! It just sucked because the gap between the screens was too much.

I need three 19" CRT's and another gpu, then I will have some serious periphal vision.

I still don't know why people always seem to think alienware computers are good in the area bordering magical.

But anyway, 15'', with what, $6 speakers?
I have hooked it up to our 37'' HDTV and that was awesome.

Igg I just got a new moniter today! A widescreen one, and it's like a breath of new fresh air. Running Halo at 1920x1200 is incredible. I don't even know what to do. I bought a Dell moniter, and it hurt me inside to buy a piece of hardware from Dell, but in the end it was the best deal. I got the 24", so good idea in adding the support for widescreen displays for H2V.

Widescreen>You.

Sorry, but widescreen LCDs really are the best. Especially when you have 2 extra 4:3 monitors that you can extend your desktop onto. It really is the best for doing graphics work, and widescreen is much more immersive for gaming.

What is the point of having a video card that can render out your games at HD resolutions if your montior can only display 1280x1024?

But then again, what is the point of having a monitor that can display HD resolutions if your video card can't handle it?

I guess it is, in a way, a paradox. But then again, there are simple answers to both those questions. You don't really need to leverage the full potential of your video card, because for most people, 1280x1024 is enough. And an HD monitor is great for things other than gaming.

Either way, I don't really care, because I've got a sweet monitor and an equally sweet PC with which to provide HD visuals at 60+FPS for said monitor. Oh yeah, and a 360. That's nice too. Having a good job is nice.
