Asus 23''
Got it for my 18th birthday
Same thing
Great monitor with lots of features for the price. Love the built in speakers, save me from having to turn on my speakers when I am just surfing the web.

Does the webcam work with macs?
Well my dell screen does, so if it uses the same method (screen plugs into mac via USB, to connect webcam and USB ports) then it should.
Any webcam officially supported by Windows Vista is supported under the Universal Video Class driver built into Mac OS X 10.4+
funny i don't see any flatscreen tv's in this monitor thread...See I'm saving up to buy a 42" full hd tv to use as a combined tv/computer screen..Although I haven't fully figured out what size (40", 42", 47" or 50") I should go with - I wanna be able to both watch movies at a distance of 3 meters AND be able to sit 1 meter from the screen working on video/photo's and music track editing without the resolution/pixelation being a problem...
Hence why I would like to see some pic's of you guys that actually have a setup like I explained above..

IMHO, TVs make for lousy computer monitors. Even the highest resolution of say a 42"+ screen at 1080p is actually very low for a computer monitor. (For example, an actual 30" monitor has a resolution of 2560 x 1600, not 1920 x 1080.) At 47-50"+, the low-res effect at close proximity becomes even more pronounced. On many sets, there are also overscan issues to contend with.funny i don't see any flatscreen tv's in this monitor thread...See I'm saving up to buy a 42" full hd tv to use as a combined tv/computer screen..Although I haven't fully figured out what size (40", 42", 47" or 50") I should go with - I wanna be able to both watch movies at a distance of 3 meters AND be able to sit 1 meter from the screen working on video/photo's and music track editing without the resolution/pixelation being a problem...

It'd be great as a 'reference' monitor for video editing- to see exactly what content you're editing will look like on a screen its intended to be viewed on. But as an actual computer monitor with nice sharp detail for images and text? Meh.
To be honest never tried - have a macbook pro with a webcam that is sufficient. Awesome monitor for gaming though. 2ms response time is pretty nice.
dual dell 22" monitors at work
omg...

It looks pretty ridiculous, one black bezel and one silver, but I'll take that over a single monitor
I know it's already been commented, so I won't explain why, but that's going to look like crap. If you were buying it just to watch movies on, then okay, but working on that thing will be horrible. Save up and buy a 30" monitor, or settle for a 24".funny i don't see any flatscreen tv's in this monitor thread...See I'm saving up to buy a 42" full hd tv to use as a combined tv/computer screen..Although I haven't fully figured out what size (40", 42", 47" or 50") I should go with - I wanna be able to both watch movies at a distance of 3 meters AND be able to sit 1 meter from the screen working on video/photo's and music track editing without the resolution/pixelation being a problem...

Hope I don't hijack the thread, but since I know people are using flatscreen tv's a computer monitors, I'd like to see pic's...(haven't found any usefull images of setups like that, and since I'm gonna order online, testing it in stores would be a stretch...)
Anyway, so what would be the maximum size bearable as both a computer and tv screen, 32", 37" full hd ?
a 30" pc screen isn't more expensive than a 42" full hd tv I would just think the 30" would be too small to comfortably watch movies on from the couch...(but I do also care about resolution and being able to edit pictures and video and audio tracks without too much annoyance....but then again, I wóuld also have the 17" 1920x1200 for) so it's more a question of what would be a most comfortable compromise...
Is that an Apple blue-tooth keyboard with black keys?
It's probably just a skin.
Or someone painstakingly replaced all the keys from a macbook keyboard.
Either way it looks cool and I'll probably be making one of my own soon.
