NEW MONITOR! Pics inside!

[War]

Finally got it! I should have gotten it yesterday, but the douchebag UPS guy didn't even knock at my door. He just left a note saying I wasn't there... Anyway, finally got it today, set it up and it's amazing! So much bigger than I was expecting. Still trying to figure out how to get 1080i going, but I have it at 1600x1200 right now and it's so great. I have a lot more space to put windows, and I can have my chatting program and internet up at the same time. I'm very happy with my purchase! Plus, I got my 360 hooked up to it thtough HDMI, so I'll be enjoying 1080p games very soon. (Too tired to start playing today)

Here's some screenshots!

Man, I still have my 17" CRT from over 10 years ago.

 

[Edgedancer]

Wow. Nice set up. I am glad to see that your huge amount of deliberation has paid off.

LOL ur keyboard doesn't do the screen justice.

hm that reminds me of my friends 24 inch hd screen. man that was sweet. rich bastard

 

[Joe88]

im still waiting for that keyboard to kick the bucket
almost 15 years and still going...

 

[VVoltz]

Awesome!, you should sell your former one.

Nice. I have the same Dell, only I kept it hooked up after getting a 22in. Dual monitor ftw


And I seriously doubt the UPS guy left a note without trying. It takes a lot more work in leaving a note and having to come back than getting it done the first time.

Nice keyboard. When did u get it? 1984?

Anyway back on topic. You could always set up your old monitor as a second monitor. (depending on your card of course.)

Nice keyboard. And I used to have that exact wallpaper. From interfacelift. But satangel says it may have viruses and won't add it to the damn list

My video card unfortuantely doesn't support dual monitors. Also, I'm not sure if I should sell it, because I doubt it would go for more than 50 bucks or so... plus the shipping and all... wouldn't make much of a profit I guess.

the 360 should stand vertically

!
(note: I've owned 2 xbox 360's over the past couple of years, never got RROD, and I always let them stand vertically... is there a connection between those two facts? perhaps its better ventilated? honestly I doubt it, but still

)

on topic: nice screen! is that the 22" one you posted about before?

Those ancient Keyboards still feel the best. I wish I had one...

I've always had mine horizontal, and never had RROD. I heard the disc could scratch if it was vertical (maybe this was only if you moved between the two while it's running.. not sure). I think the main vent is in the back, so either way should vent properly.

Nice monitor War.. next upgrade should be to a 32" (that's what I use for TV, gaming and PC).

I ordered my new monitor too today, 22" flatscreen coming

Can't wait, finally time to ditch my old and broken 19" CRT.
