They do have Eye strain though and those freckin things are monsters, do they support dvi yet?
also.. your dimensions are wrong there Codeine- my LCD can display 1600x1200, which is plenty for anything, who can run games beyond that? What games can support anything beyond that? who can see anything beyond that? All of my stuff is pretty dang small as is. If you get a good lcd you will not have near or any of those "dark area" problems, its people goin to Walmart and buyin whatever they sell and then complainin about em.
also the max res on a 18" monitor is not 1200x700, not sure where you came up with that number, its 1280x1024. If you dont know what you're talking about or not sure dont post it as fact. This guy needed information and you gave him wayy wrong info.
