New computer monitor = AWSOME[views:2804][posts:5]_________________________________ [May 4,2009 8:41pm - niccolai ""] Got a 26" westinghouse widescreen westinghouse isn;t a perticularly well known company yet, but my last two monitors were westinghouse and I had awsome luck this thing is pimp for gaming and photo/audio/video editing. it seems like the size of 2 19" widescreems next to eachother. here it is next to my 22" widescreem [img] any who, they retailed for like 450-550$ when they first came out. They are being discontinued and best buy has them on closeout, I bought the display model and got my friend to give me his 10% discount and ended up only paying 180 for it. still has the factory warranty and came with all the cables and crap. The only problem I had was i had to update my graphics card driver to be able to display the 1920x1200 res. I'm also having a real hard time finding a decent walpaper big enough. anyways, if you got 180$ to spend on a new monitor, buy one of these or you're a pussy. [img] |

I have my development environment and error messages split on the 24". my web/email on the 19" and running programs/GUIs that I'm working on on the lappy LCD. |
