Geeks.com was so kind to send me the Dell w1700, a 17" widescreen multi-purpose monitor (by lack of a better term). It can serve as a television and a computer monitor at the same time, and the amount of connection possibilities is just scary. Read on for a review.

What are the main differences between PAL and NTSC?
PAL has a better resolution than NTSC (PAL has more lines). NTSC also has a problem in that it uses 29.97 frames per second, where most (if not all) films are shot in 24 frames (this can be solved with a process called 3:2 pulldown, but it creates problems [1]). PAL uses 25fps, meaning films actually run 4.2% faster on PAL; no additional techniques are needed here.
