that monitor looks quite nice, actually. from what i've seen of that monitor, there are only a few problems with it...like say the 'footprint' (the base that supports the display) is fairly large, but still smaller than CRTs. If you like lower resolutions (which would be odd) then it's not so great, as it doesnt handle downgrading resolutions from 1600x1200 too well. that shouldnt be a big deal though, as the more resolution you have usually the better. is it going to be used only or mostly for photo stuff?
