    Its pretty ok- its not the fastest refresh.

    Not sure if its an x-black model if not its old stock.

    plus you pay over the odds coz its sony. Personally there are better and/or cheaper out there

    What SS said, the refresh rate is'nt the greatest and monitors can be gotten cheaper, check out komplett.ie, they almost do a deal on a monitor every week.

    Hi,

    I wouldnt go for a 19" TFT because your getting the same res as a 17" one only stretched out. So your paying extra for what is less quality. a little fact that i thought you should know. you would need to get a 20 at 1600x1200 or something i recoment the dell 20.1 a very good tft.

    yeh the DELL Ultrasharp 2001FP 20.1"
    or even the new and cheeper
    Belinea 102035W 20.1"

    havent see the latter in use yet but the dell is very good no goasting or anything. Good for games or just normal everyday use

    hope yours get cracked by security coming in :) only messing. you will not be disappointed. not many games use the widescreen but all Steam games give you an extra 2-3 cm's each side of the screen that no one else see's. Also the feature that you can turn it 90 degrees is cool to. why i dunno just is.
