Probably better than you've seen on any other monitor... I'm jealouse

24 bit and 32 bit are the same as far as how many colors it displays.

Wow... some people have money. fiew!!

David, isn't 32 bits the same as 24 bits plus 8 bits alpha channel, meaning that 32 bits is useless in versions prior to XP. But will 24 bits color display icon transparency correctly under XP?

No wait, I thought paxx said something stupid, never mind...

Yeah, black casings are much better than this crappy greyish I see everywhere. Flat panel screens are much sleeker at any rate.

dave- a notebook at 16x12? yikes.. i don't think i could handle that. lol

Lucky you!
Yeah do some case modding! You can paint just about everything. 10-4

- So on a 24 bit screen in XP (mine is this too) does it give you 16bit color and 8 bit trans, 24 bit color and no trans or do both and convert whatever the transwould look like into 24 bit before displaying on the screen?

- Cool!
