Hi,

Refresh rates are not a consideration on a PANEL.

You only get 1024x768 on 15".

17" would give you 1280x1024

19" would give you 2048x 1536

In the UK you can pick up a decent PANEL @ 17" for around £330.00 ($US500, but probably a lot less as the US is cheaper than the UK)

Better models are as competent as a CRT for everything, and you will quickly wonder why you ever did without one.
