LCD Wide-screen Display

Actually, D-Sub means any of the connectors that are shaped like a D (rounded corner trapezoid). LPT ports, COM ports, VGA, DVI, game port/midi et cetera.

on the connection it says D-Sub DVI, does that mean it only supports DVI? because I don't have DVI.. I have an analog output from my current motherboard. what does D-sub stand for?

EDIT after some googling, I think d-sub refers to the 9-pin analog connection , which I hate, so I think I can use this monitor, right?

Images below will tell all:

what does 20000:1 mean?

I think you're referring to the contrast ratio ... The range between black and white.
Basically speaking, it means that the blacks will be really black .. and the Colors will be bright.
The higher the number .. the better looking the picture will (should) be.

Once you go "Dual" you'll never go back.

True dat.

In another thread, Antman posted/boasted:

I wrestled a bit with VirtualBox, but it is now working flawlessly and suits my purpose 100%. I now have a virtual streaming HTPC running on a second monitor. This VM HTPC has it's own HID - ATI Remote Wonder Plus. Two separate users are utilizing a single computer independently and simultaneously.

I take it this is not going to be used for serious photography work. If it is, you want to check for color and brightness uniformity across the screen, and have some hardware-based way of calibrating them. I'm using a couple of these which admitedly are not cheap but very uniform and have a good viewing angle tolerance:

EIZO FlexScan SX2461W

As already stated above, once you go dual anything less is too cruel .
