first build...1500$

Yea, they just keep getting better, I love Acer monitors. But in the end, the 1715 is cheaper :classic:. Both are 8ms, so I don't see the big difference.

Did I mention mine has NO dead pixels?

the .5 million disply color
the extra 200 contrast ratio
and thats it for like 8 dollars more or whatever

If my rents weren't so stuck up, I would sooo get that monitor..

I wouldn't reccomemend anything less than a 6800GT for BF2. I love mine!. 1GB of RAM is fine, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227211
would do nicely.

I would not buy less than a 19" crt....meaning 18"s...Once you see a 19" LCD screen and get used to it, you cant look at a 17" LCD screen.

Oh heres all you need to know about LCDs since that was brought up: I thought he wanted a CRT...guess not..
