new monitor on the way...

[0rion]

My old one took a dump yesterday so I had to hook up my really old 19" that weighs about 487lbs and takes up the entire desk. Ordered a 23" widescreen from newegg today. Nothing fancy really.....I don't game or anything like that. Just need to be able to see the infraction icon.

[Schmalgar]

Yeah we'd all hate it if you couldn't see the infraction icon...

monitor came this morning....23" is nice. Frigin huge compared to my old 19".

[Schmalgar]

Sweet. I have a 21" 16x10 at home, and then I come to work and have an old little 15" 4x3 monitor Well, I do have TWO of them at least, so that helps...

I bought a samsung for the resolution of 2048x1156

Like I say....I don't do any gaming or anything like that and I'm not real picky about picture quality so it works for me and it was cheap. One thing I did do this year was watch all the saints games on the pc......now I get to scoot the recliner a little further back from the desk. I'd pull the recliner and table up by the desk and kick back and watch the games.

they'll be televised from here on out so I won't have to watch them on the pc until next season. I get the browns, bengals, and steelers games here every week.

[SiggyZ]

You'd be lying because you don't have a 26" Samsung.

cheaper for production that way i'd think.
