    w00t! Got a new monitor

    Got me an IBM P260 21" on the way... max res 1920x1440 @ 75Hz 300mHz bandwidth, Dual inputs DVI-D and HD15...

    Now I've just got to be patient for it to showup and the service manual for my other ones and I'll hopefully have some TH 21" Surround Gaming sweetness happenin

    Me doin a happy dance

      Sounds like you are going to be immersed into your game play

        "game play"?....not likely, more like

          DVI? Wouldn't DVI on a CRT would be kinda useless, because you would be converting a digital signal to analog, and then back to digital?

            the only point of doing so is reduction of line losses and or to prevent ringing that occurs in standard analog cables... not to mention Marketings got to have that next best thing which is nothing more than pure hype like the AGP spec

            I'd prefer HD15 and BNC than this, like my other two have, would at least save me from buying another cable atm... but then again I am a beta tester and don't think any of us have DVI in on any monitor (home or work outside of M)

            The bottom line was I got a sweet monitor for an excellent price and must have dual inputs regardless of what they are.
            ...
            actually that would be digital to analog or digital to digital and this one in the case of a crt monitor would then be converted to analog internally

                How high can Parhelia go on DVI CRT?
                G550 can only do 1280x1024@60Hz AFAIK. (notice the 60Hz...)
                P4 Northwood 1.8GHz@2.7GHz 1.65V Albatron PX845PEV Pro
                Running two Dell 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD

                  Actually, that brings up something I never considered before. Do DVI CRTs only refresh according to the DVI signal? Or can you supply a 60Hz image, but the monitor refreshes at some other rate?

                    Not only that Rob but is the limitation between DVI-A and DVI-D different seeing that one is analog and the other Digital... Looks like I've got another round of Q's for Monday morning

                          I'll tell ya when I recieve it. Currently on a truck somewhere.

                          Chrono, let me ask you this then, does Giga color benifit you in anything outside of Photochop (via plugin) or on your monitor?
                          Seeing that this monitor has two inputs and is not a flat panel or limited to 6 bit color I really don't see how this applies.

                            You didn't buy a Cornerstone? Can anyone see the shocked look on my face?

                              I almost bought a Cornerstone P1650 instead, but this was a better deal... nothing more
