| 16:9 ratio monitor is always cheaper than 16:10 mainly due to the manufacture method produces less waste |

| you dont need an SLI board ... as long as you have two PCI-e (x16 or x1) slots, you can install two cards dont waste money on PCI card, they are expensive and most of them dont use modern drivers. as far as I am aware (I use ati cards), nvida series 6,7 and 8 uses a common driver I guess all of you ... |

| I am pretty certain Hazro is pushing the product into the US but that would probability require them to adjust the manufacturing process or even manufacture to keep the cost down that can be a huge investment and can be a huge gamble for a small UK based company what I am trying to say is it is unli... |

| as a matter of fact, you got several options and monitor is dirt cheap at the moment (especially 16:9 TN panel), £1000 for monitors alone can get you very far I personally would check Hazro 30" (S-IPS panel) out, S-IPS is great for photo editing, provided you calibrated it. The price is a lot cheap... |
