Re: [APML] Noise Reduction and LCD Monitors

Hey Chuck,

You're right on the Dell, 1000:1. At least that's what they're
claiming.

I have to say that I was quite impressed with Dell's service. I ordered
the computer Tuesday afternoon, it was on my doorstep by noon on
Friday. That's with the free shipping; 2nd day business. I would not
hesitate to do further business with them. I will be keeping my eye
open for falling prices on these big, fancy monitors. I can not believe
how much nicer this 19" is compared to the old 17", so I'll be looking
forward to future size increases.
