And speaking of crazy monitors, I see canada Computers has a 34" 3440x1440 10bit curved IPS panel (LG 34UC88-B) on sale for $950. IT doesn't seem like that long ago a 1600x1200 21" CRT cost you $3000. OK maybe that was almost 20 years ago, but it doesn't seem like that long ago.
My AMD machine has NVidia GTS 450 which can do 2560x1600 (don't know at what Hz). This means I have to buy a new graphic card for LG's 34" 3440x1440 or Philips' 40" 3840x2160. My Intel machine is i3-4170 which can do 3840x2160, but it's on a H97 motherboard which can only put out 2560x1600. This means I have to buy a new motherboard, here also. Hmm, may be it's time for upgrade... -- William
