it’s something…

A few years ago I was using dual monitors at work. It was nice to have a whole bunch of screen realestate, but a couple years ago I got a laptop. Laptops are not great at supporting dual monitors, but I wasn’t really complaining. See this bad boy has a 17″ screen with a resolution of 1920×1200. If you don’t know that is a fuck load of pixels. So I had plenty of screen, I just had to get used to the tiny words on my screen. I looked for monitors that supported this resolution, but they where all more that $500. I just couldn’t convince my boss to drop this kind of coin on a monitor. Well recently the price on LCD monitors has been coming down, and last week we found the monitor I wanted on eBay for $375…a price that my boss could swallow a bit better.

So today UPS arrived with my 24″ Dell, and it is a beautiful thing. It is weird because I have been working with the same resolution for however long now, but it is just so much more dramatic on this monitor. I tried to take a picture to capture the glory of these pixels, but it isn’t a very good picture from a technical standpoint. So you can bitch about, but this is the best shot I’ve got…
