Great LCD monitor deal
Garberstreet Electronics
Here is something I would consider an excellent deal
on a VGA LCD monitor. I paid $35 more for a used one.

Maybe it's just me, but I cannot stand the smaller 16:9 format displays. Too
short vertically. It's like all of a sudden every LCD manufacturer on earth
decided that all anybody ever wanted to do on a computer is watch DVD video.
In order to get the same height as an "old" style 4:3 19" display, you need a
24" monitor.

back. [I wanted something short so that I could mount it with a VESA
bracket on the backsplash of a workbench that has an integrated overhanging
shelf with only 14" clearance beneath it.] I was, however, disappointed to
find that it could ONLY display in 16:9 format; if you fed it a 1024x768
signal it would "stretch" it to fill the width and distort the image. I
ended up buying a used DELL 1024x768 display that works just fine.
N.B., This is not true of all 16:9 monitors (some have a setting to leave
black borders on the edges rather than stretching), but you do need to check
before you buy.

I've been keeping an eagle-eye on Craig's List and am scarfing up a number of
the ever-rarer 4:3 LCD displays.

Just a couple of days ago I bought my 3rd Dell 24" LCD. Couldn't
pass up $250 for a refurb 2408WFP from a Dell employee. A variety of
connections too:
DVI (2 of them)
HDMI
DisplayPort
VGA
Component
Composite
S-Video

The 16:9 TV standard will ensure that 4:3 displays continue to become
rarer. Volume drives pricing, and pricing drives design.

It's me too. Can't stand those ungainly 16:9 monitors. I'd have
rather had TALLER ones (or even 1:1 ratio) than wider. Like you say,
I happen to have more to do than watch movies, and when I do,
letterbox is just fine.

Personally though, I like the wider displays. It's easier for me to
spread work out that way.

I recently purchased a Viewsonic 24" HDMI (just under $200) and you sure
can...

I'll bet you've seen Maximum PC's recent article about a six
16:9 monitor gaming setup!
Now that would allow a _lot_ of windows to be visible at once!

Stock traders have the highest monitor count I've seen.
Of course the cards don't have to be as fast as gamers'.
Cheers,
