A common sense guide to buying a computer. Flat panel monitors are starting to show up on the budget radar of small business, thanks to their continuous decline in prices. IBM flat panel displays are no exception. While this may seem a bit high for a small shop, it is half the former price of flat panels.
Prices continue to drop.
The T54A is capable of 1024 x 768 pixel resolution with 16-bit color. If you're willing to settle for 800 x 600 pixel resolution, you can crank the monitor up to 32-bit color at the sacrifice of image quality. Flat panels are designed to run in one an optimal resolution and generally do a poor job at other settings. This is the case with the T54A but is not unique to it. Plug it in and Windows detects the screen and initializes it with a default display driver.
