HEXUS has spotted a Sapphire monitor that is worth showing off!  A native resolution of 3,840x2,160 (16:9) will pretty much cripple any graphics card if you could find a game that supported it, and your system might actually need this fan if you actually managed it.

BCC Hardwares takes a look a pair of 24" monitors from Samsung, the (hard to find) ~$380 245B and the ~$560 245T.  The price difference really jumps out at you, and the two monitors reflect that in their technology.  The 245T has a 6ms response time, the 245B a 5ms, they both offer 1920 x 1200 resolution and can be calibrated to

If you are looking for a nice big monitor, then AnandTech is the place to visit.  They've gather five 24" widescreen LCDs, three are TN panels aimed at consumers and two are S-PVA panels which will appeal more to graphical designers.  None of these panels are cheap, either in construction or in price, but gaming at 1920x1200 has some other steep entry requirements.

Sales cease on Dell 3008WFP 30-incher

Well, don't I feel foolish for buying a 30" monitor that now has a "technical issue" and has been removed from Dell's website?  I wonder how long it will take for people to revolt and want an exchange for all the existing 3008WFP monitors...

A full dozen 22" TN monitors are up for review in the second installment of X-Bit Labs 22" LCD round up.  Prices for a decent 22" wide screen gaming LCD have hit the $300 mark, a far cry from what they were a year ago.  It also helps that you can pick up a graphics card that can handle 1680x1050 in most games for about the same price.  Read on to get an idea of the state of the market for those looking to game on a wide screen LCD.

Caveat Emptor

Techgage delivered a warning during their review of the ASUS VW222, and that warning was to avoid the monitor altogether.  They found the 22" TN panel LCD to be a poster child for every problem that can occur when using that type of LCD.  Even with it's fast response rate, poor colour replication and a very noticeable screen door effect real detract from what could have been a good LCD. 

You should keep an eye on this review though, ASUS contacted Techgage as they believe that the monitor they tested may have been defective; there will be an update soon.

"The display market is chalked-full of models that fill up the quality spectrum, from sub-par up to high-end. The VW222 falls into the sub-par category, sadly, with overall poor color representation and noticeable screen-door effects, resulting in a model that should not be considered for purchase."

Soyo used to be a major motherboard manufacturer, although they have moved on many have fond memories of their Dragon series.  Now, in a venture with Honeywell, they have released the Soyo Topaz S 24" LCD, a 1920x1200 TFT display with a 6ms refresh.   ASE Labs tried it out and found it to have no problems gaming or playing DVDs, or with Linux as the used Ubuntu to test it.
