Bokishi Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Dells good, what the hell you talking about? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right, just because their entry level comps are sh*t doesn't mean their high end ones are. Plus they are going to be the first to have quad sli. Current 3DMark

I had to get the matched set of IBM kit for everything. It was a business marketing decision, nothing to do with fanboyism. Nope. :D AND it's a hybrid LCD / plasma. AND I bought it nearly three years ago. How do you justify "wouldn't have looked as good"? The big, ugly red thing you have is only attractive to bower birds wannabe F1 racers ... who drive a Nissan. I suppose you have a bunch of Ferrari caps and shirts, too. How can an bezel, however beautiful you misguidedly think it is, be better than extra screen pixels? Next PC will be a custom job, though. Only best-of-breed: Dell 24" monitor might make it, depends on the state of the market when I am ready to buy in about six months or so.

And do you always ASSume ****? I happen to work as a PC technician and I didn't buy this monitor just because it looked pretty. I purchased 4 LCD's prior to getting this one and out of all of them the Acer had the better looking screen, least amount of ghosting, which I haven't seen yet, hardly any backlight bleeding and absolutely no tearing. You probably don't even know what any of that means --- oh wait, there I go ASSuming stuff. Edited February 26, 2006 by Setzer

And I read the specs on the monitor a month or so ago in Custom PC, and even they couldn't give it a high recommendation. Overpriced for sucker wannabe racing drivers. You swallowed a big, fat marketing pill. Only a fanboi would even consider buying that overpriced garish nightmare of a panel.

Setzer Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 I guess these people are talking out their ass too... PC Advisor Review bit-tech review Probably not good enough for you since you've already come to your conclusion about the monitor without even testing it out for yourself. Stick to reading that Custom PC bible of yours.

I like how hostile he is about what you do with your money... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hostile? Who's hostile. I was just making a comment. People just don't like to hear their judgement questioned ... I never suggested the LCD was low quality, it just relies on mugs paying a premium for the -ahem- distinctive styling (or lack thereof). Here is the Custom PC review (which, coincidentally, was taken from PC Pro): Verdict: A superb screen that excelled in our tests, but you can get the same performance for less ... ... But what stops us recommending the F-20 is that for OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
