I would rather get that than the 20" that costs more /images/graemlins/blush.gif

No, but I picked one up for $217 after everything, with one of those coupon deals. Hell of a monitor for that price.

I have a 1905FP and am able to set the resolution to 1600x1024. This allows for no overlap horizontally and modest overlap vertically when 4-tabling. However, there is some distortion in the scale -- given that this resolution setting is not a 4:3 aspect ratio, the horizontal resolution is compressed on a 4:3 monitor like the 1905FP, so the images appear taller and thinner than normal. But it's better than having significant overlap at 1280x960.

Of course, this is just me making do with the 1905FP that I bought before I started multitabling. If you have the choice from the outset, I highly recommend purchasing a monitor that will support 1600x1200 or higher.

How exactly were you able to set it to that resolution? I was under the impression that they went up to 1280x1024 only. That's as high as I'm offered.

When I right-click on the desktop and choose Properties, it was an available choice under the settings tab. If it's not on yours, the resolution may not be supported by your computer's video card. However, I can confirm that the monitor can support it.

No it can't. The 1905FP only has 1280 actual physical pixels in the horizontal, 1024 pixels in the vertical (it's a 5:4 monitor). The only way you're getting 1600x1024 is if the video card is scaling the picture down to a resolution of 1280x1024.

That's probably right. But at least it avoids overlap.
