My Christmas present for me....a Samsung 213T 21.3" flat screen monitor.

Here is an ASE screenshot...

Uhhhhh, Face, a screenshot isn't going to show what your monitor quality is like since were viewing it on our own monitors.

I thought he was just showing us how much real-estate he had on his desktop. Bigger monitor = more information, too. I'd love to have a 21" monitor or dual monitors so I don't have to keep flopping windows all the time.

bah to the two monitors, buy a laptop and kill two birds with one stone. Hell, Dell is selling p4's for 750 after rebates. Unless of course your going with matching kick butt lcd's

yep. what a difference it makes. 3 months ago i bought a 21" Viewsonic Graphics series monitor. it definately helped me identify and aim at targets. no more squinting until my vision got blurry on the 17".

Exactly Hightimber. However, I returned it tonight. I was just TOOOOOO big. I would LOVE to have it for programming at work, or at home, but it was just too monsterous. And I actually had a harder time keeping track of things in game.

So...I returned it for a nice 19" flat screen and threw in a Best Buy ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB for $300. So for $500 less than just the big ol' monitor, I got a nice 19" and sweet vid card.
