At any rate, I hope it'll be to your liking. :yep:

Because its for pc games also you want black colors too look black (at night) not washed out grey so go for a led backlit screen . I have an LG W2486L-PFV . 24" is ideal size . If you use an hdmi make sure it is a good (expensive one) as cheap ones can heat up and be trouble . A dvi connector is all you need . I use a tv card and i can give you a list of my components which i built the computer myself .

When I ordered stuff from NewEgg before I used my Post Office box. This was too big, so I told them to send it to my apartment. What they sent instead was an email saying that the bank requires the billing and shipping address to match. So I went online and changed the billing address at the bank's website, and notified NewEgg. I haven't even got a confirmation back yet. They may have shipped it yesterday, and I may get it by Friday, but who knows?

yes that is the problem with PO boxes nobody wants to send anything to them,But it s worth the wait. I'm playing shv and it looks better than my inc so now the inc is on the xp machine.

Pfft. Ordered something yesterday, 24th. It's scheduled to arrive 27th next month. :doh:

Just got the confirmation. Should be here by Saturday at the latest.

That happened to me. A company had a speaker cabinet I wanted, discounted to 1/4 the asking price because they're discontinued. I was told it would ship November 5. When I called their customer service the rep was as confused as I was, since they only had one left and wanted to get it out of the warehouse now. When he said "one", I went back and checked my order. Sure enough, I had tried to order two. I changed the order to one and it shipped immediately.

Anyway, my first ever widescreen LCD monitor should arrive in a very short time.

Here's a cheap way to turn your monitor into a TV. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815116028

I've found them as cheap as $39.99 on up and external usb tv tuner with antenna included. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...077&CatId=4546

I have a TV in my room. Since I got my computer set up I haven't turned it on once.

Gerald 08-27-10 12:00 AM

Too bad you've already ordered one,

I had been able to send a free five-hour usage
