Its true it is very slow when changing inputs or channels, but I only have it hooked up to a pc to On and Off is all it needs to do.

I'm tempted to whip out the credit card and go for the larger monitor in the t260, but honestly... I'm on a budget so I'm probably going to go with the smaller 240. I'm just looking for a better deal, that one link I posted added tax +shipping +and the recicyling fee. If i can get free shipping and no tax that'll help or a lower price.
I just need the plywood and paints and screws/nails after getting this. So 200 + plywood + black paint + whatever small supplies I need, I'm trying to stay under or not too much over 400. At least for now.. I'll get the sideart, marquee, and plexi to go over the monitor later.
Since my version is a 2player panel, the 24" one should be good
Thanks Guys!

With input lag I mean you are 30 MS too late to jump for that Donkey Kong barrel ;D, not that it needs 30 SECONDS to find a source of input.

so.. there's 1000 ms in a second..
seriously? 30/1000 of a second! .03 seconds... Don't get me wrong. I'd buy a better monitor if I could, I'll be sure to leave a little room so that a 25" could fit if I decide to upgrade. Even the Hannsg brand @ 25" had lag just as bad (the 28" was better but 300). It'll be fine I know it doesn't live up to your taste Blanka, but don't ya worry.. someday I'll upgrade. Some day far far away hopefully.
