thistlechaserFirst yay: A new subbed TeniPuri ep! Click here for the BT. Yay!
Second yay: I'm typing this while looking at my new monitor! Yay! No more buzzing!
It's flat panel, and it's really rather different than a normal monitor. The picture/desktop goes all the way to the edge of the housing, there's no black border like on all my old computers.
Graphics are really nice and sharp, but I'm having a not-small problem with text. Some black text is really blurry (especially the text under icons and in IE's address bar). Other text, smaller text, is somewhat better. I'm still working on trying to correct that.
Oh! And the size is rather different, too:
. 
I tried to get my cat to sit on it as reference, but she wouldn't. Scabbers offered to stand in! He's about eight inches tall, and his tail is about ten inches.
The only thing I miss from my old monitor is that I can't put things on top of this monitor (I had so many figures and stuff on the old one!), and I can't really tape notes to this one (the old one was covered with post-its).
So no matter the run-around that Circuit City gave me, I got this new one before the old one totally died, so I'm happy! I was going to hold onto the old one to use in an emergency (in case the current one died), but it's so massive I don't think I can. I wonder what would be easier, somehow lugging it to the dumpster (putting it on my wheeled chair and pushing it out there, I suppose) or putting an ad on craigslist and giving it away...

tersa, I don't suppose you want it? I'm assuming it's on its last leg, but I could be wrong. But I'm not exaggerating when I say it's massive: It weighs a ton. I hurt my back just getting it off my desk. You'd probably want to get a strong guy to come move it, or maybe a second person to carry the other side.)
