Sweet. New monitor.

Yeah, I blew some of my bill money on a new monitor. I'm very tired of looking at mine, which I cracked last year. It's been functioning okay, except for the large unviewable portion where some of the liquid seeped out and ran down between the glass and the scratch coating.

So, having dealt with that for long enough, I got myself a 22" wide :)

I have one of these on my desk at work and it's awesome :). Can't wait to go from this broken 17" to a 22 wide. Oh, and I originally paid $300 for this 17" Sony. It's served me very well for 4 years. I'd still be happy with it if I hadn't cracked it.
Ludicrous gibs!

    Nice. I picked up the Westinghouse 22" a couple of weeks ago. Only $209 @ BB. Not using it to it's full potential right now- hooked up to a laptop, so I only get a 17" pic.
    But this weekend, I'll move my HTPC into what passes for my office ;-)

    At $165, I feel it's well worth it. Acer monitors seem to be the best deal going for the last few years. I've personally installed at least 100 of them in various jobs. A few issues, but they have a 3 year warranty and their return process is the definition of "no hassle"

    Nice!! I almost pulled the trigger on the exact same monitor from New Egg today, but I wanted to do some more research. I'm still using a 15" square LCD.

    Let us know how it is. I'm making a purchase soon.

    Hewlet Packard's --- HP w2207h is where it's at...

    HDMI as well, so when you get tired of using it as a monitor, switch it to a teevee...
