For Sale, due to an immenient upgrade to a 24" Eizo, one Viewsonic 19" Flat VG910b monitor
see HERE for specs.

There is one small 'slightly dull' spot on the monitor - but I have lived with it with no problems for about 2 years, all pixels are working, display resolution 1280x1024.

Offers?

Hey up Tom, don't you fancy the 30inch Dell I see you can now get it for £800 a similar price for the Eizo, less status I guess but more resolution and working space.

Of course I'm leaping to conclusions re the Eizo you were looking at.

Best wishes

Yep that was the model but I was planning to get if from Native Digital.

Now I think I will wait until I have seen the dell in the 'flesh'

Tom, take a serious look at the Dell. I also looked at the EIZO but the Dell is as good.

Thanks for the discussion thread guys. Very useful info for a new monster screen that I've been promising myself. Has anyone here (on UKNP) have the new MacBook Pro? I was wondering whether you can get a docking station to work with a large screen. Actually its probably all wireless knowing Mac. :biggrin:

Guys,

The dell needs a WQXGA graphics card, not sure that my machine, let alone my pocket, will cope.

I have a AGP motherboard and the card I have will support 1920 pixels but not WQXGA

Also to be honest, I don't have the desk space and the EIZO has a 5 year / 30,000 hour guarantee

Hi Elliot,

The MacBookPro has a Dual Link DVI built in, so is more than capable of powering the 30" screens without the need for any sort of docking station.

Tom

I got my Dell 24" just before xmas when they had it on special, it's a great monitor and the wide screen space works well in CS. :smile:
