| I'm with maharie, shift sucks. I snagged Undercover and it reminds me more of the Most Wanted area. Lets just be honest. GRID came, they saw, they conquered and NFS is just the lame big name. |

| my take on this is...well, we've seen this before. ATI has just launched to 9800pro. The 4870 was the 9600pro. Now NVIDIA is claiming that the 5950U will kill it. Any one of us knows that when NVIDIA is behind, they are not in their A game. The 8000 series was fantastic...why? the 7000 series was in... |

| MDF is pretty smooth so no real sanding needed. I'd do what Malerie suggested. BUT I'd probably sand it between the layers. 5-7 layers of paint with a 300+ grit (if you really want do 1000grit) will make it so there is no weird bumps in the finish. Poly would be good.... OR, if you want to be epic. ... |

So, I'd opt for a PVA panel with better color than try to find a "fastest" cheap TN. My 2 cents. But--I've heard good things about the Sa... |

| well, if its not good for color accuracy, I wish they'd market it as a different screen. Its what IPS was known for. TN panels are terrible. the screen on my NEC was the closest to a CRT for me. |
