I hit the big two-zero a little over a week ago, and my parents decided to get me this for my birthday:

Took a little fiddling around to get the display rotate working right. Apparently Nvidia's Vista drivers are finicky about it. It's not automatic, though. I guess a lot of people on the interwebs are under the impression that it is.

Still, I'll probably rarely, if ever, use the 90-degree rotation. It's beautiful wide.

Man you're OLD! Haha! Nice LCD! Happy belated birthday!

that is a really nice one too, all I got for my 20th was coffee card for $25...

Congrats buddy, belated happy b'day.

Just don't grow old, its a punishment

Niceeee!! Happy Birthday Bobby. Maybe there will be a 4870 X2 under the tree in a coupl of months You never know.

Heh, thanks. I'm happy with the 8800 GTS 640 for now, though.

And hey, this beats the rat bite I received from my buddy's pet yesterday. Right on the tip of the finger. And I've got band practice today. Ouch.

Happy Birthday is right jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus

Let us know how amazing it is so I can cry with my 19"

Will do.

Just curious, but why a Dell? They're more expensive for inferior performance compared to the competition. For example:

It's a present from his folks Ford!

That Dell Monitor is still FAR better than any "competition".

My dad was in the Air Force, so he gets a discount with Dell through AAFES, and another discount through his current job at the local hospital.

Nice Bobby, my birthday is in November, I'll be sure to remind your father.

I wish I had some hook ups like that.

f**k top dollar lol

Bobby said:
That makes sense. Enjoy!

Happy B-Day Bobby !!

One year older but still 5 years away from getting the bigger discount from your car insurance policy... lol...

Yeah, but I'm still on their insurance. $230 USD every six months, since I get good driver's discount. Used to be $500, 4 years ago, but being safe pays off.

happy birthday bobby, and nice monitor

also, Dell screens are very nice...

congrats, happy b-day
nice present

Excellent gift! Happy birthday indeed, Bobby! Wow, nice screen, a very sturdy base/stand and pivots, too. Now, go enjoy all 1920 x 1200 pixels of it.

Hey Bobby,

Happy Birthday! Congratulations on the new gift. I actually purchased the exact same monitor for myself a while back and have not seen an equal competitor till this day since - believe me! Enjoy it!
