The Dell 19" LCD rotated so that it's taller than it is wide makes for a very sweet browsing experience. Very newspaper'ish.

That's all I got.

Enjoy.

I prefer it in the 20in. So how do you set that up in the control panel though?

Should have a setting somewhere for Panarama vs Portrait mode.

yeah...I use the lengthwise function for papers. it's good times. people ususally have to update their vid card drivers to use the lengthwise function.

I got mine for around $260 shipped. That was good enough for me. ;)

And there's a setting in the nVidia drivers that I have. It's under Display Properties, Settings, Advanced... you can choose which way you want to rotate the display (based on which way your monitor rotates).

Good luck!

WOW that is freakin sweet..

Yeah, I TOLD YOU!!! ;)

Hardly any pages I goto fillup the 19" wide... but plenty have more content up and down like Got|Apex? and CNN.com, etc... Makes for more content on-screen.

That would definitely be awesome for some long reports or documents. Wouldn't have to split the screen in Word.

As far as giving you a headache, it is probably from your eyes having to look up. Most of the time we are used to looking straight ahead or down. You prolly already knew that though. lol.
