: : Well it will only work at one resolution and you will have to use things like increasing the pixel size in games to try and fill up the screen more. Radius used to make rotatable monitors, is this one of those?
: does changing the pixel size slow things down? what about refresh rates? is not supporting multiple rates a problem? unfortunately, no this monitor isn't a rotating one. it is really heavy. it looks like the glass on the front is 1/2" thick. i'll probably go with a normal pc monitor for simplicity and compatiblity with the pc. (be able to play pc games and stuff) -- but every time i open the spare parts closet and see that thing in there i want to figgure out something to do with it ;-)

Changing the pixel size does use more cpu time but if you have a good system you shouldn't see any slow down. Most likely the monitor supports only 1 refresh rate as well. I would vote for trying to use it if it is cheap enough (free is a good price...).
