My new 24" monitor.

It is a question of economy of scale. A few years back, the smallest

1920x1080 LCD TV was 37" then 32" and apparently now some are available in 24"size class. When the same LCD panel can be used for both TV and computer monitors, the product volumes go up and prices down. 1920x1200 will be nice market, keeping prices high (at least compared to 16:9) displays.

I am using two 19" monitors side by side getting 2x (1280 x 1024). Works great once you arrange your windows accordingly. However, some pop ups still appear in the screen center where the "joint" is, which is annoying... And sometimes I find myself rolling my chair to the left and to the right...

Same here, with ViewSonic monitors. PSpice Schematics on the left, PSpice Probe on the right. But I've had no such problem with pop-ups. I suspect you're set up for "extended screen" instead of two distinct windows. ...Jim Thompson

Yeah, I saw that one... inexpensive and essentially the limit of what you can pump out over single-channel DVI.

Most tempting, certainly...

Hey, I've got friends in low places! ;-)

My little $129 Fujicam FinePix A210 has a live NTSC video output. Of course, I'd have to get an NTSC VCR and a mic, to make movies. I plugged it into my TV's "aux" input, and I was amazed. The pic was as high quality as the TV's capable of reproducing.

Cheers! Rich

Display Port is the next big thing. Most new monitors and graphic cards support it.

On a sunny day (Wed, 9 Dec 2009 17:47:39 -0500) it happened "Martin Riddle" wrote in :

Apple & Intel seem to plan optical...

I have one, and got it for $230 IIRC, and then I forgot to send in the rebate form on time to make it even cheaper... oh well...

My 19" CRT Viewsonic was only $179, and it was the top of the line model with the optical coating and high rate video board.

Maybe I should make some folks over at the old folks home a bit happier...

Hmm, I really don't think it matters does it? Watching inappropriate videos normally causes blindness of the most important things! ;)

Well, I can't comment about your misfortune how ever, I've had good luck with the items i've gotten from Ebay. All items were as they claimed and still working.

Same with me, although I did *sell* a PC on eBay only to have the buyer come back and claim that it died six weeks later. Being a nice guy and not really needing the money, I refunded him, but I was kinda surprised that the guy even asked for a fix or refund that far out when the auction offered nothing more than a DOA guarantee.

Then again, I suppose he had nothing to lose in asking...

Take time intervals for every 30mins at least 5 mins walk around and do some exercise.

See you online and have a nice time.

From the operating system point of view, all I have is a bigger screen. Some software launches its pop up just in the screen center, not in the center of the application window. I really would be glad to know a way to avoid this! BTW I am currently running ubuntu, but the same happened when I was using XP.

You need three monitors :-).

Right now I do have three monitors side by side. However, one of them is attached to a different PC!

Pere

That's what Al Gore has- three 30" Apple Cinema monitors. Very nice. Unfortunately, I think that means two video cards in a PC.

Pull-up the help for your display card. Mine is ATI Hydravision. It's probably as simple as a setting change. ...Jim Thompson

I'd have three or perhaps four if I could get the graphics card working in my docking station. :-(

I have three now too. One isn't hooked to anything. One day I'll get my Linux system put back together. Maybe I'll get lucky and Linux will install (hopefully the new graphics card is more Linux friendly).
