First moniter is a Sampo AlphaScan 711
second is a NEC MultiSync XE15 (got it for free

BOth running at some funky resolution... ah, here it is :1279x1024
Its strange, if I tell XP what my second screen what it is, then it will won't allow resolutions over 1024x768.... Stupid XP.

EDIT, Yes, my desk is a small pool table....

I had mine before they were ever offered retail in the stores.

I was on a waiting list for 3 months....because they were made to order

Which still blows away every thing to this day
