[Mr. Popo]

Only $16? :D (You wrote 16.000 and not 16,000)
Looking good. :cool:

[outcast623]

at 16ms it sounds like it would ghost all over the place for gaming. But never the less that is still bad ass

[Pillo-kun]

I can only imagine playing crysis on that sweety. with normal monitors it feels like ya are peeping through a keyhole or something. with this i think the eye sight would be more accurate. If i reach out my hands to the sides i still see them and i guess this applies to the rest of ya.

sorry, post edited
i meant 16,000.00 USD - didn't know that separators for numbers are in my country the other way around (would be written 16.000,00 USD here)

[Hooker]

^ In almost every country except for the US

[nn_step]

I'll buy that for $16 :p:
$16,000 is a stretch for my monitor budget

Guys, just skip commas and periods as thousand separators alltogether. Write $16 000 instead so everyone understands (it's universal).

It's really the same issue as with dates. What does 01/02/03 really mean? (Feel free to replace the slashes with dots/periods or hyphens or whatever.) There isn't one single uniform practice in the world.

While in the English-speaking world it's quite right that the comma is popularly used as thousand separator and period as the decimal marker (separates the integral part from the decimal part). However, according to international SI and ISO standards, as well as US NIST standards, commas, appostrophes and periods are NEVER to be used as digit grouping symbols whatsoever. Instead a space of certain width (depending on the standard) is used as thousand separator. So, Mr. Popo, one can't say you're really all that right either. ;)

As for decimal marker, you are free to choose between a dot or a comma (whatever fancies you the most). So really, Mr. Popo's suggestion is as "bad" as the original.
