No I have never played online. Most I've done was set up a server of my own and ran around checking it out LOL. Also when I play online I usually go by the nick 3NOFORC3R

blue, if ya wouldn't mind please look at the pics in the link below and see if you can take a guess as to whether or not i'd have any problems.. thanks!

oh yeah, i've looked at the vx922 you were talking about.. if the price comes down by january i'll probably get it instead, assuming i'm not going to have problems with the monitor's height...

I measured my monitors height and the actual screen sits approx. just under 5 1/2 cm's from my desk surface. This is the actual LCD screen and not bezel of the monitor. Looks like it sits a fair bit higher then the one in your picture.

Good luck with your decision. I can see where this monitor would not be the one for you based on its height alone. It truly is a weakness of this particular monitor not having a very adjustable screen. I'm going to be buying an Arm for mine that mounts on the wall. It will add more adjustability for me but I don't really need it as where it sits on my desk the height is perfect for me.

Well I was considering Futureshop. I don't like to shop there though as the prices are stupidly high all the time and the folks working there usually know nothing.

This page has many http://www.futureshop.ca/search/sear...=EN&search=KWS

This is the one I am considering or possibly black model http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...37&catid=22918

If you google for Vesa (mount) you will come up with allot of results. They have arms that clamp onto your desk or are wall mountable. I want this mainly to free up my desk space that much more. I also like the idea of being able to swing the screen out of my way and by the looks of it you'll get a much better tilt with it mounted to one of these arms. They can be very expensive but you can find the slightly shorter ones for around $150. I believe.

Edit:

I notice that the first link does not work but if you type "wall mount" in the sites search engine you'll get the page that has many options.
