Nope, a little too tapped out at the moment. We did get all the shopping done for everyone else thou on Black Friday. I am considering a new phone as a Christmas present to myself, been looking at the Sony Ericson Walkman phones, but I don't know, I can't make up my mind what I want.

LOL.. yep. Goes well with the new video card, and the speakers I got for Christmas. Put in the new Zalman cooler and it's like a brand new computer:)

You will love it. I couldn;t bellieve the difference. Although I'm not sure if it's the monitor or the card. First time I have ever had a really good version of either one.

Thanks blknights, I've got a good graphics card and I've been more that pleaseed with the ecellent quality of my 18"" Flat Screen TFT Monitor, it was just that I fancied a bigger screen. I was loking at 21" monitors, but the prices was always sky high. However, the prices have dropped recently and I thought I'd spoil myself and get one... If the quality of the picture is as good as I'm getting on my 18" one, I'll be more than pleased...

Just curious.. if you don;t mind my asking. What did you have to dish out for this one? I got mins on sale. $400,00. Regular price was $500.00.
The resolution is great .... I have mine set at at 680 x1050.... and it's excellent. Clear as a bell

Hi again blknights, I reside in the UK so My price was £232:00 but I converted it to US Dollars and it cost $457:00. The actual viewing size of the screen is 474mm X 296mm and the physical resolution is 1680 X 1050.

Hi again Boney m8. I'm located in Canada, so I did the conversion as well. In US dollars I paid 340.00, so I suspect that you might have a better monitir than the one I got. mine is the Samsun 225BW Viewing area and resolution are the same. Contrast ratios 700:1 typical 5ms response time.

I just checked my Contrast ratio and it is:- 1000:1 suppose that's why it cost more. I'm very pleased with it...
