opinion(s) on this 22" LCD monitor for PC ?
AtomSmasher:
Make sure you have clear type enabled, it makes a huge difference. (Display Properties/Appearance/Effects/"Use the following method to snooth edges of fonts")
I got to best buy at midnight last night figuring I should have no problem getting the monitor. Turns out that there were already at laest 200 people in line, but I was already there so I was going to wait and see if I got lucky. Turns out the monitor was one of their hot items when they were handing out the tickets and was gone within the first 50 people, I didn't have a chance.
Once the tickets were gone I decided to go to staples and get the harddrive, which they had plenty of. I probably could of gotten there a couple hours after they opened and still got one.
The amazing thing is, when I left staples (around 6:30), the line for best buy was still going into the store. They had been opened for an hour and half and the line was moving pretty good, but it was still going. That line must have had around 2000 people in it when they first opened.

That monitor was a popular item at the Best Buy here, too. Back on topic, though. I think the DVI is going to make more difference than the stats of the card. Unless you intend to use the PC for intense gaming, I'd go with the cheapest DVI card you can find. (I personally prefer ATI cards.)

First of all, make sure you're using a specific widescreen resolution so everything isn't stretched. If you're just not used to the whole wide thing, all I can say is that you get used to it.
You probably won't want to be maximing a lot of windows, though. Text is always easier to read in narrow columns. That's why newspapers don't print text all the way across the page.
Wide screen comes in most handy for those apps that throw a lot of info at you at once like MS Visual Studio, web development, and graphics tools. For web browsing, and MS Office apps, it's less useful.
ChadTower:
It's also good for having 5-6 windows open at once.
