I can't answer your question luke, but why is the "Web exclusive" price dearer than the In store price?
And as far as PC World goes, I don't buy from them due to bad experiences with them... and their staff.

Thanx, I did ask but it was too much of an efford & were not allowed they said.

Is your quote of "1200x760" very far worst from 1024 x 768 that I've been looking at for the last few years on my old monitors?

No it won't be worse it will be marginally better and if you're used to 1024x768 you'll have the same level; of detail, however the small resolution and the larger monitor will tend to exagerate the 'Jaggies' so you will need to ensure that you have anti-aliasing on.
