    Gonna take the plunge...

    Resolution of the LG monitor is 1920 x 1080. I'm going to wait for DX11 cards until next year, perhaps Summer 2010. I am not ordering until Wednesday so I will check back on this thread until then to see if there is something else I am missing. Thanks again for all the help ppl !

    I should have mentioned that I intend on getting a 30 inch monitor later this year. Will a single 4890 be able to handle the higher resolution?

    Yes I plan on OC'ing the 955. I want to be able to listen to media player, ventrilo and play mmo at same time with no added lag from bottlenecked resources. I am a rookie though and will step back to 4GB if it's enough to do the job. I will look at Samsung, I enjoyed my last monitor from them...
