Overkill???...........damn!!!...how long have you known me now Thad?
;o)
I'm new to all this DVI stuff. Looks like the video card has a DVI-I output
while the 2407's have DVI-D inputs. Looks like a DVI-D cable would work for
both though. Might be good to check and see if I need some kind of adapter
though, dontcha' think?
I really like the DVI stuff I see here at Office Depot (the only place I can
demo anything like this) I've been suffering a bit of eyestrain for a while
now due to those CRT's being just a little too distant to see everything
comfortably at 1600 x 1200 and I have discovered the hard way that getting a
good clear display up close makes working *a lot* easier/more
comfortable....so much so that it's worth throwing a bit of money at, IMO.
Thanks for your help

I recently bought two Acer AL2216W s that are 22" widescreens.
Sweet with Cubase. $300 per wasn't bad at Circuit City.
Still waiting for two $50 rebates though.
