Viewing angle, and contrast-changing at different vertical angles, are two important considerations. Also, if you use a photo-management app such as digikam, then make sure that you look at a few of _your_ pictures on the monitor before buying. My current LCD, the panel in my Dell Inspiron, has the terrible property of different contrast at different vertical angles. So, for some uses (photos, video) I stand the monitor up to see the detail. For others (email, word processing) I lay the monitor almost flat so that I can tell the difference between colours. It is terrible. Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
