...I used to really enjoy this site for a year after I had discovered it. Now...it lacks any direction and caters more to advertising and pop-ups than it used to do for tech enthusiasts of all backgrounds and knowledge levels. Hell, I knew about 15 people that visited daily, including myself, that have seen the slow decay. Oh well, I'll just stick to MaximumPC until I find the next great i-net tech source.
 
You guys should always have a monthly sale list so pc stores/retailers/vendors can advertise on your site as you could make more revenue for your marketing department. These finds are both interesting and informative.
 
I'm tired of all the large screen "1080p" monitors. 1080P is a SUCK ASS resolution for anything ober 19" if it's not at least 1200 lines, better 1600, it's a cheapass PC display. Those are not monitors, they're TV's without tuners...

Samsung has a 24" 5ms 1920x1200 screen for $249 on newegg currently. That's higher resolution than the one above, with better response, and more inputs, and supports native 1080p. It's also that price after a $50 instant discount, not a $70 mail in coupon.

Also, for only $1159, nearly $400 less than Dell, you can get an LG IPS 30" display with 2560x1600. It has no HDMI (none of the displays in this class do), but it takes HDCP over DVI. For less than $100 more, HP has a similar display that has 3 dual-link inputs.
