re color or monochrome walther i d have a look at the maximum resolution the combination of the video card and screen would have without flickering i d only suggest using the color screen if it does without flickering if this is not too small for your tastes at a personally i d prefer the mono screen as i always have quite a few windows open if you only run one program at a time or rarely switch maybe the color surplus is worth trading in the smaller size if you want to develop programs you will always have to check the colors i used a mono screen worst of both worlds and was surprised how the colors looked i choose on a color screen regards olaf winkelhake
