Can someone please tell me what is the cheapest graphics card I can buy to make best use of the 1680x1050 resolution through the DVI interface?

I picked up an ATI Radeon 9550 from eBay for around £14 which suits my needs perfectly and was very simple to set up.

Just curious but what setting for brightness and contrast do you find suits you best? I am still trying to find the best and most comfortable setting for the eyes.

Thanks. So in total, i receive two emails.

Cash Sales Invoice - Which is sent after item has been dispatched.

Said i will recieve the Monitor on Friday, so it will hopefully be dispached today and i can send off the Rebate tomo as i should have received the email by then.

Hi,

Just received the monitor and still have not been emailed the Cash Sales Invoice Which i from others said is sent after item has been dispatched.

I need this to claim back the rebate.

Just an update for all,

My claim for the three PC's I claimed on this promotion has just come through on Monday (£300). This was after waiting 40 days from the email acknowledgement of the claim, so about 47 days from posting in the documents.

I'd imagine this time will go up slightly due on this as well for all you lot awaiting your claims.

I was going to buy one these from it247.com a couple of days ago when the price was £190 but I decided to wait, good job that I did as the price is now £170 and with the £50 cashback a great buy. It247.com must have had a big shipment in because they had 1183 in stock when I bought mine.

I ordered mine yesterday at the £190, so was a bit peed off to see that it had gone down that much, I checked at about 7:25 am and the price was indeed £170, I waited to phone them and when I did just before 9:00 am the price was back up to £189, and she said it was a system error and that anybody who ordered at £170 would not get them at that price.

So glosman555 can you please let me know how you order goes, because I will certainly be back on to them if it goes through.

Thanks

Edit

My monitor has just turned up now,the day after I ordered it and I only paid the £4.95 for 3-7 day delivery instead of the £11.95 for next day delivery.

We bought one of the monitors , it arrived yesterday. Find that text looks very faded eg. text in these posts look very grey, anyone else have this problem. Is it because we aren't using a DVI cable.We use a mac. Wondered if we had a faulty one. Any help appreciated.
Thanks philsu

I used the supplied VGA cable and bought a DVI one as people on here say DVI is so much better. Well I couldn't notice any difference. So I don't think your problem is that.
