Did that a few times, so if it's the case just let me know, i'll show you the way around. =]

True, but still, regardless, like I said, if it's like in the past year or two, you should pretty much be fine...

My 24" acer looks nice. Especially for what I paid for it.

Personally I like the Samsung line. I still have and use the Samsung 213T I bought years ago. Liked it so much I added a pair of 19" Samsung 915n monitors to my workststion. There is also a Dell 19" monitor I use for the laptop docking station. Overall, I like Samsung.

is that the max resolution that my lappy's videocard can push when tweaked??

Thats the officially supported resolution, but it may be able to go higher with a registry tweak or other "optimizations" as Polo said.

usin a samsung 216BW, i had the acer one, gave it to my little brother. the image is debatable, the samsung seems brighter and more vivid

I got the monitor this morning, unpacked everyting and hooked it up. I found the stand/base to be somewhat very flimsy for a monitor that size. Fired up the laptop and went into the display settings and saw that I could bump the resolution to 1600x1200. At first the whole display looks sorta washed out, guess I have to tweak the monitor settings tomorrow. So far I only used it for CAD and internet browsing, gonna try watching a dvd movie later on. Oh I am using the D-Sub cable as the lappy doesn't have the DVI output like the desktop, perhaps I get better display results via the DVI output.

the Samsung CR is 1000:1 as against the Acer 700:1......big difference there.
