That company is highly reliable and efficient. I have ordered all my monitors there with absolutely no problem. THey are just like merkortech, except NOT SHADY AS ****! I even got a grade-b one time for budget constraints and the only thing wrong was a big black scratch on the back of the case which I dont even see while typing. Anyways, check out the link.

you were the most helpful of them all who posted here. This is sure a nice new monitor and at below $600 its not too bad. unfortunately, Supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 76Hz (16:10 mode). widescreen is ok for 2-d such as surfing the web since I can have two open webpages side by side but its not for gaming as it would look disorted in 4:3 ratios. Maybe I can see if Sony will make a 4:3 24" for $600 and once I save up that money(screw a radeon9800pro) ill buy their freshly built 24" oh and it must do 1600x1200 at 100Hz and 2048x1536 at 75Hz or better. man surfing the web at 1600x1200 at 100Hz on a 4:3 24" with a .24 trinitron flat CRT would be my dream, id gladly pay $600 for a new one, less for a used one. even if it means that instead of an a64 rig, be it. If they can even make a BIGGER crt like 27" I may pay a grand for it! seriously!

Thats just Sony's older version of the GDM-FW900.... Its not flatscreen and its about 4 years old. You can find tons of the sun versions on ebay. Just like the older one its widescreen, not 4:3

And even with the best HDTV you can get the highest 4:3 resolution you can display will be like 1280x1080i.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The offical 4:3 HDTV resoltuion would be 1440x1080, i or p. 1280 is reserved for 720p resolutions.

Yeah but the highest resolution I have ever seen a 4:3 hdtv in is 1280x1080i, course I havent messed with too many of em. Its not an official HDTV signal because if it was it would lock to 16x9. If a HDTV can take 1080i then about 90% of the time you can give it 1280x1080 at 1080i timings and it will still be in 4:3. And as far as I know there are no 4:3 official HDTV resolutions. Atleast Ive never seen any channels broadcasted at that ratio. All the HDTV signals I have seen are all 16:9.

I know a lot of HD tuner cards support 1440x1080i but I have never tried it on a HDTV. If you have would you mind posting the timings you used cause Id love to use that rather than 1280x1080i for games if my TV can handle it =)

--------edit
Ahhhh 1440x1080i is for LCD, LCOS, and Plasma display. Thats why I didnt know about it =) No where near the kind of income to have one of those :D So its still not relevant here since its about CRTs =)
