Well, that sounds like strictly luxury, then. VERY luxury. I mean, a 22" monitor is cool, but it’s not _that_ huge of a deal from 20" to 22", I shouldn’t think. But I don’t play games—I just earn a little side income through my graphics work (and do it on a 17" flat panel), so what do I know? Maybe it was a life-or-death important gaming purchase. 😉
