    @Zidd: Can you hdmi out? Do you have a hdmi on your notebook? I know my brother does that to a 1080p hdtv. I also seen other newer led monitors, check out the asus led monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236075&cm_re=asus_led-_-24-236-075-_-Product  
     
    It has the same tilt as your notebook and it's very thin. I think it would make a good display if you can hdmi out. It's 1080p, 2ms and a high 10000000 :1 dynamic contrast ratio, static contrast ratio is probally only 1000:1, however it's a good suggestion.

    He was offering you a free monitor! Why would you screw it up like that?
     
    No matter, you can still hook up your notebook to the new monitor. Don't worry, no thanks necessary.

    @HitmanAgent47: I got a mini displayport to HDMI cable from monoprice the other day to watch hulu on my tv which is only 720p cause its kinda old. Ill buy a new one eventually. I'm waiting on the 120hz displays to come down a bit. and as i mentioned before I also own a 1680x1050 display that I use at work because I desperately need the extra screen real estate there.

    " I was surprised to see that most of my PC games seem to support this resolution. "
    Really? Maybe they were older games?
     
    I can't imagine recent PC games with no 1920*1200 support, even though 16:9 and 1920*1080 is gaining more ground.

    @Zidd: Yeah I have one of those 1080p 120hz displays, actually I have two. I recommend the sony bravia 120hz. It's very trippy how fast it moves. It would make a good pc display or if you want, it can be used for other types of gaming. I still have to test that one out to see how it works as a monitor, however I think it would be good. Your totally covered, if you have a hdmi out on your notebook, you can connect it to any 1080p display easily with a hdmi port. It's a great suggestion to everyone else too imo.

    A.  Since thats the box i'm looking into.  I have 3 more LCDs and a big screen plasma with 4 more towers and my 360 and PS3 connected.  This older monitor is for browsing.  
     
    I agree with above.  I haven't had a rig with 1 box since 98.

    I didn't know that they made 17" screens with that a res that low. It must be an older one.

    I have a CRT, so my resolution varies depending on what I'm doing.  1024x768 on the desktop.  1600x1200 in most modern games.  640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768 in much older games.

    1920x1080 PC / 1024x600 Netbook
     
    I did have a 1920x1200 screen but it died, this is the same size (well, 0.6" smaller) but seemed wide as fuck when I got it.
     
    Edit: May upgrade this to a 30" screen soon
