I've got a 22" HP that I like. Just wait until you discover MOVIES on the net. You'll be buying a surround sound system that will wrinkle the carpet....I did. This'll get ya started:
http://www.movie-forumz.org/
http://stagevu.com/videos/Films_and_Movies
http://beta.vreel.net/index.php?q=channels
http://www.realmilitaryflix.com/public/768.cfm
http://www.guba.com/all/video/Documentary/page2
http://www.veoh.com/browse/movies/

If you don't already have it, DivX is a good digital player and is free. Some of the movie wites require their players. Have a good time with the 'puter!

Nice upgrade buddy, looks great!


I'm so blind that even with my 27 inch screen I still sometimes use the 125% & 150% zoom button thingy on the bottom right-hand corner.

Sucks getting old.

Hey Habibi, tell it to someone who gives a ....! When you have to squint to see the screen and you were born in the 1940's, I'll feel sorry for you!

I've got those Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks, and they really get the computer room to rockin'. Wife is already complaining about "Highway to Hell" at half volume and she thought Dr Hook was in the room when I cranked up "Cover of the Rolling Stone".

Yeah, that's right, all you youngsters go scurrying to Google those titles!

Take care buddy,
serotta

We have a 24" mac for our family computer. It is funny typing a paper on it. You have to move your head to follow the cursor. Haha

Hey Serrota, you realize that your photo is not of a > computer < right ? ....I don't think so anyway. I guess they do have some new computers which are built right in with the monitor. Not sure how I'd like that ?

Anyway, that's an awesome monitor ! A few years ago I went from an old dinosuar 15" picture tube style, to a 19" Samsung LCD, and it was like going from a 72' Ford Pinto, to an 09' Mustang

But a 24" ! Holy %^%$ ! That's fat !
