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 currently have an NEC Multisync 97F 19" CRT on its second year and still works well. Dell is having a Boxing Day (Canada) sale at 30% off. Is it worth it to pick the 2005FPW up now, or will the price go any lower?
It's according to how long you are willing to wait. The price will surely come down in time as the prices fall for the 24's and 30's start coming down, and Dell has times when they give out large discounts. I picked up one last summer for $379 USD w/free shipping. I went from a 19" CRT flat screen and the difference knocked my socks off.
Widescreen is nice, but if you've never had an LCD before, it would be smart to try one first if possible. Some people (like me) are more sensitive to response time than others.
