Monitor envy...

from WinCustomize Forums
I decided to go ahead and get a new (cheap) monitor and I was wondering what to look for. Mostly I want bigger, but now I see that includes ont only 1024 X 768 but one size even bigger. Both are affordable for me.. Is bigger better? I have seen some in stores that are kind of rounded and the clarity and color seems a little off... what do I check for to avoid that?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Increasing the resolution should make theing smaller. I've never encountered that set of problems. When I had a 15in I keep it at 800 because 1024 made me squint to read. Even thou I have a 17in I will not go above 1024 for the same reason. I hate getting old, the poor eyes they take a beeting.

I'm the same as you wise. I keep my 17" at 1024x768. I have a 19" too and I set that at 1152x864. Just too hard to see anything after that.

My eyes were the first to go. Everything else is starting to follow them now.

Way to go BoXXi. Enjoy it, I do with mine. I know what you mean motion. The wife's 19in is also set at 1024. Her eye's are going too.

BoXXi! Make sure to activate your virus software first.... I only had my computer up about 3 hours and downloaded that Klez virus because I didn't understand Norton. I had to reformat!

Thanks GM! I will be careful. I never got a virus yet, and I don't intend to start now.

It's here!!!! I thought it would be bigger, but this is real big! Now I can dig into my old computer for goodies!!!!Eveything looks different, I have to make adjustments. I also thought somewhere along the line they would tell me the EXACT cost... I do not have a poker voice, they knew I was excited.

There is this hunk of plastic hanging out the side that kind of worries me.....

Klez is a monster.... at least since it was a brand new computer, it didn't have addresses to mail itself to!
