Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I like the monitor.
disclaimer - I'm a fan of glossy screens
the colors are good, nice and bright, and I got it for a good price, the adjustments available with the arm are great (height and rotation adjustments are great when I have several seating areas around my desk)
I don't get the...
I'd say it's worth it. you can always run the game at a non-native resolution if you must until you upgrade.
I'm running a 24" monitor on an Nvidea 7400 and I don't really care unless I'm running games, then I dock the resolution to something non-native. Doesn't look great, but doesn't matter...
for the same size (ie, 24") a 16:9 monitor will be shorter, yes, but also wider.
so instead of black bars in the top/bottom, it extends it to the sides. basically increasing the usable space for 16:9 images
20-24" is small?
lol, then what do I call my 13.3" screen? epic tiny?
on that note, if it weren't for the price constraints of buying a 30" monitor and the hardware associated with running one, I'd totally be on it.
we order primarily dell 2408s and 3007s for large display workstations. the 2408s we can get for a pretty decent price, scores below the retail price. If it's for a business, which it sounds like you are, you might want to inquire about their business pricing.
That monitor has gotten great reviews. I'd do a little digging in this forum, though. a little while ago (I think last week) there was a user here who was looking for alternatives to it because he said he didn't like it and returned his.
What size monitor are you looking at?
a 16:10 monitor of any size will permit you more vertical space, so if the web-pages you tend to visit are long, there will be less scrolling.
If you're looking at a 24" monitor, then a 16:10 display is wide enough to hold two full size word documents...
