In my opinion Bowie needs to be heard album by album. His singles are very good, but they aren't even remotely near the entire experience.
And there isn't a single song from The Man Who Sold the World which is one of his best albums
It might be that he just didn't like the sound of the O2. They are very different from the Qualia. The HE60 and Koss ESP/950 sound closer to the Qualia.
And won't the O2 hold its charge for a very long time once charged (unless someone discharged them before the meet)?
As far as modern RTS go, SCII looks ok. The new C&C and Company of Heroes look amazing for current generation games.
No Blizzard game ever looks stunning since they aim for it to run on a variety of computers.
Babylon 5 right? I've watched season one in its entirety. Didn't find the time to watch the rest. One of the made for TV movies (I think it was The Gathering?) blew me away.
I noticed that too. D1 was dark.
The cinematic trailer gave a distinctive LotR feel in a few places. The city with the waterfall in the background (Caldeum?) looked breathtaking.
Also another amazing isometric RPG Westwood Studio's Nox.
Do you want TN or IPS? Once you make that decision it will probably be a bit easier in choosing.
I haven't really kept up with panels so I don't know if there are any 24" IPS.
Try and view both in real life and see if you can appreciate the difference in picture quality and viewing angle. To me an IPS panel is totally worth the extra cost over a TN.
