(note: I've owned 2 xbox 360's over the past couple of years, never got RROD, and I always let them stand vertically... is there a connection between those two facts? perhaps its better ventilated? honestly I doubt it, but still )

on topic: nice screen! is that the 22" one you posted about before?[/quote]
I've always had mine horizontal, and never had RROD. I heard the disc could scratch if it was vertical (maybe this was only if you moved between the two while it's running.. not sure). I think the main vent is in the back, so either way should vent properly.

Nice monitor War.. next upgrade should be to a 32" (that's what I use for TV, gaming and PC).

Bingo. or at least I think. I was playing Assassins Creed, and the 360 was vertical, well for whatever reason, my friend thought it might fall, so he put it on its side, and the disk had about 5 large circle scratches on it. So bad that it didn't work.. nor did Gamestop even consider taking it

I got a RROD while vertical.. but my friend got it while horizontal. I really dont think it matters.

Welcome to my world
32" HD TV FTW lol

PS: The monitor is not the 22" one that Sephi has, it's a 21.5" Asus. It's better than Sephi's (IMO) because it supports up to 1080p, has 2ms instead of 5ms, and also has built-in speakers which are surprisingly not bad at all.[/quote]
Well, to be honest, the response time isn't a big factor unless you're a srs bzns gamer douche or an expert in visual displays and can tell the difference of 3ms. And your previous monitor looks like my 22" Dell monitor (E228WFP), minus like 5 inches.

Ahh... Soo many good features O_O

How much you get this for anyway? I would buy one, if I had the cash... I got a 19" Benq FP93GX that I bought off of my dad for $100... I got scammed... xD
But, I am going to buy the other screen to have dual screens... For only $50~! Seriously... Scammer xP

I think I payed 190 + free shipping for it. But since I live in California, I had to pay recycling fees + state fees which turned out to be an extra 32 bucks :\

Oh that is a lot of money

Maybe I will stick with buying another 19" ... for $50 xD

I have a 24", 1080i sceptre, running ubuntu.
Win.

Grats!

One month ago I purchased one of those Samsung T220 HD ($230 to $330 depending on where you buy it).
Has all connections you want. HDMI, Component etc.
I've been using this as a "travel monitor" for my Wii. Taking it over to a friends house etc. Have a 40" FullHD at home.

I think 720p is better since its running in progressive scan mode rather then interlaced
it looks better but at a smaller res
