Thanks DL. I'll look at those.

I'm thinking more like a monitor replacement though. So I wonder if they make a Wega that does VGA. I'll go over there and look later.

In the mean time these are the two monitors I know of so far:
** sgi 1600sw 17.3" Diaganol, 16:10 Ratio. - Requires special interface.
** Apple Cinema View 22" Diaganol, 16:10 Ratio - I think it is G4 only though.

The thing I noticed quickly is that both have 16:10 ratios. I wonder why TV's and stuff are 16:9 and these are 16:10? I thought everything qwas going to get standardized on one movie sized format. Apple seems to say that a DVD image is a 16:10 image. What Gives?

PS sorry if this is all off-topic, but my video upgrades all revolve around the aquarium these days so I'm just asking here since y'all proabbaly know.
