New Monitor
« on: August 27, 2008, 07:59:22 PM »
Nothing to do with bocking but I bought a new monitor today and am so happy with it I had to tell you lot  :banana:

I have had a 19" crt for years now and kept thinking about a replacement but finally got a push due to having a credit note for Morgans

I went and bought a 22" widescreen tft for £150 (the 19" cost me £250 about 6 years ago) and I cannot believe the difference

It is gonna change my life  :haha: so anyone thinking of upgrading their monitor do it  :banana:

Dual monitors kick ass!

I went the opposite way a few years ago I have 2 computers attached to 1 monitor with a KVM (and another 2 networked upstairs,must set up doom on a network one day  :banana:)

I did try multi-monitor gaming a while back but found it was only really usefull for flight sims so went back to one big one  :biggrin:

yeah its some jump to make from a 19" crt to a 22" tft, hows all that room feel jason?

Well aren't you lucky... :P
My new laptop is... I don't know and I don't give a damn, it runs ridiculously fast and that's all I care about, I really couldn't give a damn about res as long as it's 1024x768 or more

To be honest Nero it making me feel a bit agrophobic  :haha: but I've been playing Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood on it and it's like being there for real  :banana:

Not including being shot of course  :haha:

Just can't believe how much better it feels (I remember going from a 14" up to the 19" and that was the same)

Maybe over the next 6years projectors will drop to a good price  :biggrin:

I'm about to build a new tower, I could put my old little 22" with my 23 widescreen but that would just be showing off  :nana:
