Quote: Original post by RavuyaAll the high-res LCDs I've found, actually. None of the larger models by anybody seem to come with versatile stands.
Is this for Samsung, or Dell?[...]
Actually, I noticed I hadn't actually gone to samsung's website, so I did so, only to find they don't actually want you to look through their products (or they have a horrible web designer). It's insanely frustrating when site's don't have their products categorized in such a fashion that I can only look at ones I might possibly be interested in. A list of model numbers is neither necessary nor sufficient =-(

Forgive me for being bitter, but LCDs just aren't at the point where they can compete with CRTs yet. It's frustrating to think I'm going to have to either pay ~9 times as much or get something significantly inferior in some way. In the end, I'm probably going to end up spending way more than I want to so I can get a nice monitor, but I'll hate the world for making that the choice instead of "CRT or LCD?" =-(
