I second that. I bought a FE950+ about a year ago and love it. Steve Jones wrote:

I think the FE950 is about the same as the Mitsubishi 22" 2060u, which is what I have and it's been a wonderful monitor as well. Larry "Brad Larocque" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I've had both 950 and 1250 but am now using a Samsung 17" LCD. Yea, I know I sort of downgraded but was fed up with all the heat that 22" behemoth was putting out.

Newt, how's the LCD working out for gaming?

I have the 20" LCD from Dell. It's absolutely amazing and I will never go back to a CRT. It works well in most games and is stunning in driving games since 90% of the movement is coming towards you. GTR2002 at 1600x1200 is heaven. It's a little on the expensive side, but if you head over to the ARS Technica forums, you'll see it's probably the best gaming LCD out there.

Yeah, but it's a DRY heat :) Larry "newt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Larry wrote: > > I think the FE950 is about the same as the Mitsubishi 22" 2060u, whichis

I'll take it, if you want to give it away. My computer room is cold *anyway* - I could USE the extra heat...<g> Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank:-0.381 N2002 Rank:+17.59 Never argue with an idiot.

Doh! Out of curiousity, how much did you sell it for? Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank:-0.381 N2002 Rank:+17.59 Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

I haven't found it to be an issue at all. The text is incredibly sharp and with the adjustable font smoothing of XP it's really a dream to use for text. I have a very nice 21" Sony/Dell CRT at work and I run that at 1280x1024 because the text is just not as sharp as the LCD. I might not be the best judge of resolution though. I've always valued screen real estate and tend to run my monitors at their highest supported resolution.
