I just got a new ASUS 24" LCD monitor and all I can say is WOW
I can't believe the difference from my old 21" CRT. The color and clairity just blow me away.
I was up most of last night playing some ot the new games MOH beta and BFBC2, then drug out Far Cry 2 and it looked like a totally new game. For $219 from Newegg I am one happy camper. Only problem I found was if you use the HDMI cable it reverts to the crappy built in speakers and by passes my surround sound. But works just fine on DFI and couldn't really tell the difference between DFI and HDMI.
Just unplug the sound lead to the vid card if it has one. If not default all sound to your sound card outputs.
