Well my monitor came a week early! but I found out it doesn't matter what resolution you set it at the fish still look the same size, even at 2048x1536 where the start button is so small you can hardly see it
so I am just alternating my desktop between 1024x768 and 1280x960 and the Aquarium runs so much faster as I can up my Hz on this monitor, it is running so smooth
I actually used the 1 Watt speakers

and they are good enough for me as it has a headphone out on the base so if I want proper sound i'll use that,
I was surprised to find that the manufacturers spec of a max res of 2048x1536 @80hz isn't possible, I can only set it at 60hz but hell as I am never going to use it at that res who cares

there are about 200 different resulutions / hz / colours (ridiculous)
