my next native resolution and that's a big jump.

Yea, you would do better to get 16:9 22" @1680x1050 instead of 4:3
@1600x1200.


After asking folk why the hell they think they need anything bigger than
a 22" WS I am now very tempted by the price and quality of this 24"...

Well, we men always obsessed with size - the bigger the better.

Any way, joking aside, bigger screen in Windows is a feast to the
eyes, unless you don't mind to run FPS at a lower resolution. For
some reason, so far no one mention about how tire you hand have to
move the mouse back and forth using a large WS LCD. I'm using a
Dell 24" widescreen at work for just Windows application development
and my hand so tire after a while of moving the mouse back and forth
to minimize/maximize/close/open multiple windows. Even when I have the
mouse speed set to nearest fastest workable speed and highest
acceleration.

At home, I can move the mouse back and forth for hours / or playing
game with a standard 4:3 19" LCD without getting my hand tire. Any
suggestion regarding this issue?



Dude, you need to excercise that hand more!!!!!!

Trackball. An upside down mouse. Try one for more than a day and
experience the joy of precise, light speed cursor movement with zero effort.

You will wonder why you were so stupid the day before. :P

Agreed. Trackballs are excellent tools for work... crap for gaming but
great for work

What about the colour transmission of this minitor ? E.g. I have an LG
19" WS monitor, and it saturates white. The next screen I want to get
is to have a better reproduction of colour. I am not interested in a
cheap 24" screen if its quality of colour is not good.

If gaming was work, would they be great then?

Silly person, trackballs are great for gaming too.

I guess it depends on the games. I tried the trackball when I had it
because I'm starting to get probs with wrists and fingers (old age) and
I had to go back to my MX518 for my FPS games.

Love the trackball for everything else though

Oh I played all those back in the day (except bowling) and still have a
copy of missile command somewhere that's small enough to e-mail if you
wanted one and yes, I'll bet it'd still play great with the trackball. ;-)

My gaming now though is nearly all FPS or FPS/RPG variants and I really
do prefer the MX518 for those.

I'm in a gaming time-trap. I have 4 arcade machines in my house. 3 in
the computer room and one in the garage.
