thanks for the response. i am just looking for something bigger to look at in my dorm when my eyes get tired of my laptop as well as a monitor to use as a TV.
Do stores allow you to check out the resolution on a PC before you purchase it?
the only reason i will have money is because i am staying an extra week at my summer job. i am pretty sick of southern PA and this is gonna be my little present to myself for not killing anyone here... like my roommate.
