This questionaire is designed to be answered by people shopping for new displays so forum members at Xbox.com can help them to find the exact display they are looking for.
In order to try and bring some order to the forum, we reserve the right to lock or delete any thread asking for assistance with purchasing a display that does not use this format!

Special thanks to nickspohn at notebookreview.com for the idea, and PhAnToMrAhL for bringing this together.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Create a new thread entitled "New Display for <Your Gamertag>". This will make it easy to distinguish your thread from all the others asking the same question.

2. Copy and paste the questions below into a new thread with as many answers as you can give, this way others can help you to find a display that fits your needs. If you don't know how to answer a question or don't care about what it is asking then just say so!
