    A new monitor advice

    Thank you for reply. As I have mentioned, I do not intend to play games a lot and don't need the fastest response times possible. What I probably want most from the monitor are its color reproduction, color range, good viewing angles etc, but by no means I am a graphics artist. Also, thank...

    A new monitor advice

    My Windows Vista Experience.

    I seem to have resolved the issue by updating and flushing bios and doing a clean installation. So far so good. Thanks to all for your responses and your time.
