LCD 17 " wide screen

Well after my 17" CRT monitor gave in to old age I had to dust of the 15" CRT and use that as a temporary solution. In a dramatic turn of events I received a 17" wide LCD screen and this thing is amazing. Yes I've joined the modern world bigsmile

On my old 17" I ran at a mediorce 1024x768 resolution, well it was really old like i said. Then came along the 15" which as small as it was allowed me to run at 1152x864 comfortably...or so I thought scared

I'm using the 17" wide LCD and I'm running at 1440x900 yikes This screen is so bright it's blinding and yes I have turned the brightness down to zero. The colour is so vivid, it's such a sharp image. I'm used to using LCD's at work but that's just looking at code and other crap all the time and they are the standard LCD's not the widescreen version. At home, it's like a whole new world. I'm definately getting a 22" wide LCD next. Widescreen makes a huge difference.

In MS Excel 2007 (OpenOffice is a bit buggy, at least the version I have) on my old setup I used to get columns A to O and rows 1 to 25...now I get columns A to V (the 22" will definately go till Z) and rows 1 to 32.



It's just so new and shiny smile
