I've been looking at upgrading to either that or the Acer B233HUbmidhz 23" 2048x1152 screen. I'm coming from a dying 24" 1920x1200, and 1920x1080 just seems like a downgrade. And I guess as they're phasing them out for 16:9s, all the current 1920x1200 screens cost more than I paid two years ago ($300), so ~$200 for that Dell or the Acer seems like a steal. Samsung also makes one at this resolution, but these are the only three monitors with this size/resolution that I'm aware of. They seem like a step in the right direction for screen size vs. pixel density, and I'm really disappointed that I haven't seen any other monitors like this.
They even do this with games like World of Warcraft, where the CD key itself is what's worth the price on the box, and removing the discs from the sealed box lets anyone with access to the discs to see the key. I bought a copy like this, and while it worked out OK, I was rather suspicious and considered going elsewhere to get it.
Unfortunately, the plans to put it on the lunar surface have fallen through, so there will be no Moon Ska telescope...
Thanks for pointing that out. I should have read this before I moderated. Ah well, this comment will fix it.
