Just bought myself this bad boy. 19" Hyundai L90D+

Will be using it mainly for gaming etc, so I needed a good refresh rate. This monitor was designed for gaming so had everything I needed. At ?308 I should hope so too. lol

Nice monitor. The LCD's are much better than the CRT's IMO. They are alot sharper and easier on the eyes. I now have 3 19" LCD's and a CRT for gaming :D

lol I had to get a flat screen - There will be 3 monitors connected to this PC once it comes. One 17" dell, a 15"er and this one.
No desk space :lol:

forgive me for being thick but why do you need 3 connected at one time?

Who needs desk space when you have monitor real-estate :wink: Once you have more than one monitor connected to the computer you will wonder how you ever managed with just the one :D
It really is VERY handy!

I would refuse to work if they hadn't given me two monitors. (i actually have my laptop one and a normal one).

Two monitors is very handy if you are multitasking or doing any software development. e.g. if you were coding a website you could have the website on one monitor and the code on the other. Saves you having to switch between the two all the time.

Three monitors is greedy lol hence why one will be Kevs soon (although i suspect he has a few already)

Yup that's the exact reason why I have lots of monitors (Software development). Its nice to have the code on one screen, the output window on the other with a few other bits and bobs on, including the app in development.

Most GFX cards come with two outputs now. So its as easy as pluggin in another monitor.

Depends on what graphics card you have, and what type of monitors. Only Brand new g/cards have dual DVI (digital) output. The slightly older ones will have a DVI and an analog output. Older cards will have on analog (VGA) output.

However you can simply buy a cheap PCI g/card and add that in to expand the number of monitors you cn have.
