For anyone who's been eying this monitor, but hesitant about price, HP is having a 40% cash back sale tomorrow: http://shopping.hp.com/shopping/html/popup/msnlive?aoid=35252

Nice to hear a good CS story every once in a while :)

Please, do tell, where can I find that monitor for $600?

FYI, all ATI cards come with an HDMI-DVI adapter.

Noscript ftw

Kind of a poor substitute, but still better than most reviews out there... http://www.cluboverclocker.com/reviews/video/sapphire/hd4870x2_2GB/page1.asp

Here's another good reason http://www.cluboverclocker.com/reviews/video/sapphire/hd4870x2_2GB/page7.asp

It'll blend, I bet...

I'm pretty sure it's possible - the monitors themselves might not have built in portrait mode support, but you can generally use software to give the monitor a 'sideways' image. I assume you have a stand/arm capable of holding the monitors in portrait mode?

That's not cutting it close - it's more than enough power.

If you're using it as your PC monitor too, go for 1080p. 720p is far too few pixels to use as a monitor - it's less than even the smallest pc monitors today have. You'll go crazy trying to fit all your windows into 720p.

Oh, I wouldn't say it's better (or equal) to any of those monitors - its only noteworthy quality is being slightly cheaper for someone on a budget. P.S. what do you think would prevent anydvd from continuing to play DVD's?

If it's not HDCP compliant, it means that it can't play content encrypted by HDCP. That means Blu-Ray movies, and not much else. You can even get around Blu-Ray's HDCP by using Any-DVD HD. This does mean that you would only be able to play Blu-Ray movies from a computer, and not any other...

No, but I bet it'll blend :p

Looks like an excellent monitor. Definitely on my watch list :D
