Wait for Dell to run a special on the 19", they've dropped as far as 260 I think in the past month or so...I have one, it's super great.

I don't care about dot pitch or anything, all I know is that my 1905fp is a great fuckin LCD monitor and it was highly rated in all the reviews. I add my voice as a 3rd to watch slickdeals.net for another deal on the Dell 1905fp.

you won't find a dot pitch that low on an LCD without paying out the ass for it

it's a fact that CRTs are sharper than most LCDs, it's a sacrifice you make - at least that's my understanding of it. the ultrasharps still look great though, and if you're like me and use a laptop most of the time anyway, it's easy to adjust. just make sure you run it at the intended resolution/frequency - 1280x1024@60hz

and lately dell seems to run specials on these things every couple weeks or so

this monitor will be replacing a Viewsonic 17" CRT

i have the Dell Ultra Sharp 17" at work and i really like it

i just think i'll be happier with the 19"

the 19" has the 4 usb 2.0 ports on the front and i definitely could use that since the only usb ports on my computer are in the back and i have to move my desk and practically stand on my head whenever i need to access them

That is one hell of a laptop screen, i want to make a tv out of it but something about 715$ and a particle board box painted with a brush doesnt mix well in my mind.

now i'm considering buying a 4-month-old 17" Dell ultrasharp FPV from someone

it has an image contrast ratio of 1000:1

but i need to know some more about it before i can make up my mind

higher contrast ratio doesn't always = greater picture, if you didn't already know that. i'd be scared to buy something cheap that had a 1000:1, unless it has consistent positive reviews.

the back of my docking station has 2 video outputs. One Stadard VGA and on DVI. I can't plug a DVI-VGA converter in the DVI because the larger flat connector in the converter is bigger than the back of the docking station. Why is that? Someone told me it's because it's setup for a true digital monitor. How can you tell the difference b/n true digital and "fake" digital? Can you find a true digital CRT? I have PLENTY of space on my desk for 2 21" monitors.

it should look like that
i don't think there is more than one type of DVI connector

what does yours look like?

There are three types of DVI connectors

DVI-A (analog only) there is the large field of holes and then to the right is just 4 holes

DVI-D (digital only) there is the large field of holes and then to the right is one horizontal bar

DVI-I (both) there is the large field of holes and then to the right is four pins with a cross in the middle (like the picture above)

If you only have DVI-D, then the adapter would be useless since you can't get an analog signal from a digital output. (I learned the hard way since Sony only puts DVI-D connectors on their cards so they you have to buy one of their digital monitors)

Looks like I have the DVI-D Dual Link 24+1
So I can use a digital monitor for my other output only.

Noen and I talked about this extensively last night. I decided that I'm going to go with the Samsung 915N. It was on sale yesterday for $314 at newegg. I still have to decide whether I want to sink money into a flat panel, a carputer, or a supercharger for said car.

^ I jumped. Its somewhat misleading as you have to add on $21 worth of crap (in my case a camera bag), but $250 w/ next day shipping for the monitor (and camera bag) isn't bad.

It's not what I'm getting. After the 19" monitor and a $22 USB Hub, it's coming out to be $280 + tax =~ $300. And that's with the free 3-5 day shipping. Next day shipping was an additional $30. Was the deal supposed to be before 8:00 or something?

^^^ I forgot to mention it has the glossy layer on the screen, and that you can select the input to appear on the screen via a button on the front of the monitor. Mine looks fantastic.

I've only seen one 25ms response time flat panel being used, but it was enough to inspire me to pay a little more for the 12ms.
