If you plan to watch movies on your monitor don't go 22". Do you know about the TN panel problem?

No. Do tell.

I suppose my lazy ass could just look it up.

Nevermind my last post. Please summarize for me.

The reason 22" monitors are s cheap is because they ALL use TN panels. These panels are fast (no ghosting for games) but lack the color accuracy and viewing angle of higher quality monitors. SO if you plan to watch movies from your coach, they screen will be dimmer unless you watch from the perfect angle. Also, colors in the movie will not look as good.

However, if you plan to just post on Sherdog and play video games on the comp, then a 22" is a great deal. You won't miss the colors (impossible to see during gaming), you will be looking at the perfect angle, and it is faster than better panels.

That's something to think about.

But I've got some time. No comp parts 'til Penryns are out.

werd. I'm picking up a cheap e2160 or e2200 to put together a pc next month, but I'll be replacing it with a Penryn about next summer.

That's what people try to tell me. I just want something I can get cheap and OC. Then I'll spend that extra $125 on my shiny new Penryn next summer.
