    Really like the look of the ViewSonic, anybody received theirs yet? I've been using a Sony 21" for about 5 years now, still fine but think I can't resist anymore!

    Received my Acer today - very pleased so far. No dead pixels.
    Not running at full 1440x900 yet...any idea if the Intel 865G chipset can handle this resolution?
    Have tried downloading updated graphics drivers but internet's a bit dodgy at the moment (e7even) so havent' succeeded yet.

    Resist, your sony monitor will be better. I can virtually guarantee it. TFT is still an early technology of its type and can't reach the refresh rate or resolution of a good crt.

    Its worth noting that the widescreen tfts are always a lot cheaper than the normal 4:3 shaped tft screens.
