LOL!! Well, Uncle, you should know that the smaller the monitor, the better the frame-rate. Those bloody great big 21" things are simply horrendous...they chew up fps and bog down when compared to (for example) a 12" screen. The ideal is to use the beautiful 9" Sony monitor that came with the little Amstrad 386 back around 1990/91. (Seriously, the clarity and resolution on that little jewel was magnificent. I used one at work and that 9" screen was brighter, clearer and easier to read than the 14" unit on another PC that we had). -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Goy Larsen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Bruce Kennewell wrote: > > > > Certainly no loss of fps here. > > How do you notice that on a 12" monitor ? :-) > > > Beers and cheers > (uncle) Goy > > "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ > "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ > > * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * > "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com

Well, Sony's "tubes" has always been excellent, I have one myself in my 17" Nokia and wouldn't trade it for anything less, it's about 3 years old now, but beat most modern "tubes" on picture quality still, drooling over a 19" Nokia now, but I can't really justify the expense...:-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com

Well...you've been warned, squire. Go to a 19" instead of a 17" and your will suffer a two-inches per radiant-pixel reduction in effective frame rate.
