If you stick at a low resolution, it will look worse the larger monitor. I personally would not be able to stand gaming at a widescreen equivalent of 800x600 on say a 20" monitor.
Similarly, the increase in the size of the monitor from 20.1" to 22" without an increase in the resolution of 1680x1050 would mean that it's a decrease in quality because presumably you would notice the pixels. For some people this is noticeable for others, it is not. Your viewing distance also determines how noticeable the pixels are and if you sit closer to your monitor you'll notice it. And that's it really. What's all this rubbish about tn panels and crap. It doesn't matter. What you do is - you go to a shop, look at a monitor, and make a decision for yourself on whether the picture is good enough for you and whether you can afford it or not... |

Guys, does the DELL warranty still cover the 1 on 1 replacement if anything goes wrong in the 1st 3 years? Please advice as i'm gonna order mine tomolo, last day for the promotion:)
Another query that have not been answer by forumers:- If i'm sitting 8 feet away from the 22", will the DVD movie still be pixelated?? my couch is about 8-10 feet away from my PC. please advice.......   This post has been edited by alkin: Aug 6 2007, 12:21 AM |

QUOTE(Kidicarus @ Aug 5 2007, 07:34 PM) Not true. I run a dual monitor setup and you don't necessarily clone the desktops. I normally have a movie/game running on the primary display and have non essential stuff like vista widgets, messenger, firefox, i-tunes running on my secondary display. Yes having an extended desktop rawks. For work it's even better, excel on one screen, word on another, etc.. really improves productivity. It's so easy to set up a dual monitor extended desktop as well, all done in the driver, which even has a wizard for idiots! Yo, he was talking about GAMES. Not other applications. Anyway, if a game is spent across monitors, 2 for most people (3 or more for people who has the moolah), the game would need to have support for it. There are tools such as Matrox's to enable games to expand across multiple screens, but I'm not sure where or how to get them.In terms of having a game run over 2 desktops and have some added functionality, it all depends on whether the application supports it or not. I would say even then, I can't see it adding much to my enjoyment of a game. edit: to keep within topic, this is the widescreen thread after all, i have a total of 1680+1280 pixel width to clutter up my desktop with  This post has been edited by clayclws: Aug 6 2007, 02:22 AM |

Please advice as i'm gonna order mine tomolo, last day for the promotion:) About 1 to 1 replacement, as long as your LCD is still UNDER WARRANTY with DELL, you are entitled it. Dell would not take your LCD for RMA. They will straight replace you with another one on the spot if the problem is found. However, AFAIK, you will risk getting refurbished units if you requested for RMA.Another query that have not been answer by forumers:- If i'm sitting 8 feet away from the 22", will the DVD movie still be pixelated?? my couch is about 8-10 feet away from my PC. please advice....... About the pixelation, for one, it really depends on the DVD quality you are watching at. If its poor, it will be noticeable. For me, it does look fine after about 5 feet away. But the acceptance really depends on personal preferences.. QUOTE(mfa333 @ Aug 6 2007, 08:05 AM) dell give money back guarantee? Yes, but only for the first month during purchase. But you still need to pay RM80 for courier fees...  |

I was thinking of extending the warranty to 5 years for safety measures. but the refurbished unit has to be better than mine in order to replace my faulty LCD right? IF thats the case then if the replacement unit(refurbished) does have the same problem, should i keep the faulty one and reject the refurbished LCD OR request for another replacement?

RMA - Return Merchandise Authorization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_Mercha...e_Authorization In short, the term is used when you wanted to warranty a faulty item. When you receive a refurbished unit and its not up to your expectation, you can always let Dell know that you do not like that unit with bla bla bla problem and they will exchange you with another unit..
