1920x1600



Well, I'm in indecision hell right now. I was looking at the
HPL2335 which retails for a mer $1600. (the 1920x1200 baby...)
On the other hand, I could get 2 HPL2035 or ViewSonic VP201b's
for about $800 a piece. I would get 1600x1200x2 in pixel area
or (4800x1200) instead of 1920x1200 ( a factor of 2.5 more!)
Makes much more sense huh? But now I'm in video card indecision
hell... Should I get a pci-express fire gl v3200, which means
going out and buying a new motherboard... (something I've
been postponing.. but maybe now's the time...) or stick with
the fire gl z1 or x1 which go for about $400... This is driving
me nuts! (Someone shoot me...)

I've waisted the whole morning agonizing about what I should do...
