So you two are the same person, too, just like Heath and RK are, and Okle and Malone are... :raises eyebrows:

(love conspiracy theories)

And nice pics! Very nice.

I like the black edges.
What are your viewable screen dimensions. (W and L ) ?

This monitor is hooked up to my home-built machine. It's 1680x1050 running off an ATI X800 Pro.

Just got mine yesterday (I'm in UK), and also am running it off ATI x800. Mine is Revision A00 built in November 2004! No dead pixels and no light leakage...I'm a very happy customer This thing is bright! I had to crank it down a little (this is my first LCD, previously used a 19" CRT).

Now...next on my list is an Axim X50v

steelgrave, i noticed you have the wireless keyboard.. do you ever notice any issues during gaming?

i find that often the keyboard will "forget" that i'm pressing one of the keys and i have to repress it to get moving again.. kinda like using "e" to move forward... you press some other key to strafe left and expect the "e" to still be pressed.. but it aint.. it just stops.. stuff like that.

also when selecting a list of files in explorer... holding the shift key and using the up arrow.. sometimes the keyboard will "forget" the shift is being held and all the stuff i had selected is unselected...

this is using the Microsoft wireless comfort keyboard (combo with wireless mouse 2.0). love them both but damnit, i cant have these issues.

yours is what, logitech? model? thanks

Thats not a wireless keyboard. he mouse is a wireless MX1000 from logitech, but the keyboard is a $29 MS keyboard.

I've never had much luck with wireless keyboards either.
