Take a look at the following even the cheap 19" tft are great value , you don`t have to spend loads of money

Hyundai ImageQuest N91W 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black
OcUK Value Hanns-G HW191D 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Silver

You might get more knowledgeable responses in the monitors sub-forum, for whatever it is worth the Dell 2007FWP seems like a pretty good monitor, you probably won't be able to get much larger than 22" tft for your budget though.

What Semi-Pro said. I have the 2007WFP and it has so far been amazing. Looks great in games and is VERY useful in Photoshop, especially being able to see more of larger images.

quick question off topic to the OP

a. whats your cpu your running with those cards?
b. what scores you get in 3dmark05 and 06?

[Death] · 17 Nov 2006 at 05:29

06 i get about 8300 , i posted in thread ages ago

cpu is opty 165@ 2.8ghz

prolly upgrade to conroe etc next year

MuSsEr · 17 Nov 2006 at 12:47

are they 7800gtx 256 or 512?
and what about 05?

[Death] · 17 Nov 2006 at 16:08

found the 3dmark thread , 05 was 12700k ,

7800gtx 256

MuSsEr · 17 Nov 2006 at 17:37

:'( my 7800's underperform so much then, check my scores in my sig

they both rule on their own, 8500+ each on 05, but put together i only get like 10200 in 05

I would have thought my board being an A8N-SLI deluxe would love SLI, but apparently not

tried lots of driver versions too

O well never mind, good thing im selling my whole comp soon and going core quad core, 2gig ddr2 and a dx10 card

and to keep it back on subject..... a second 20.1" belinea monitor, or possibly selling the one i've got and buying 2x 22" belineas once iv seen some reviews of them being TN panels im curious how good they are gona be

Why not look at going dual 19" WS?

I have a Hanns G 19" WS and its loverly, would almost be tempted to go for two if i coudl afford it or had the desk space for it.
