in It's gone, but was it any good?
Saw this on Scan's website, looks like a good deal, will be available 'till noon next Friday. Ideal for anyone who can get to Horwich to collect it.

    Would this work ok with a dell dimension 3100 ?
    Does it have to be DVI(what ever that means) ?

    This would work fine with a Dimension 3100, but don't expect to play intense 3D games on a screen with this resolution unless you have a decent graphics card in the PC. Doesn't need DVI because this screen also has D-Sub input too.

    This seems like a good deal.What do you think ?

    Yoou might want to check that your Dell will output at the resolution of this screen - check your original documentation or give Dell a call.

    It might tell you all the different output resolutions that your PC can support - this monitor runs at 1440x900 so you want to be sure your graphics card can produce that resolution.
