ViewSonic's Product Info about the VP2290b.

for that price

For that price you can get several decent quality LCD TFT monitors and a Dual-view Nvidia card going, which is pretty nice. Movies on one screen and work on the other ;). Linux support is sketchy for dual-view in my experience, but it'd probably work if you follow the instructions! either way, this is likely only cool if you're doing some sort of digital photo/movie editing.

You find anything wider than a 17" display too wide to comfortably view all at once?

Perhaps you should view your monitor for farther away than 3 inches.

No improvement

I checked out the screen shots, and they didn't look any better than my current display.

You'll know its time to upgrade…

...when the number of dead pixels allowed by the new display's warranty approaches the total number of pixels in your current display.

FPS's? TV? dude: this display isn't made for you.

Read the Viewsonic product page: ideal for satellite imaging and digital content creation. Says nothing about a playable framerate (with a friggin Matrox Parhelia!) or watching bootleg anime DiVX movies.

This is a problem common to Slashdot readers -- "if it doesn't work for me, it's obviously not good for anybody."

P.S. after a year on a 23" CRT I can't imagine downgrading to anything less; a friend of mine uses two of them!
