I got my advisor's 21" since he's left and now I find myself WAAYYY too close to th damn screen. (I waqs using a 17" before) I think my desk is too small for it.

i get annoyed by my home monitor now, since it is "only" 17". 21" is nice. 24" is nicer, but then you kinda have to move your head to read all the screen.

Clearly, you're sitting a bit too close to your monitor.

Yeah, I'd expect that would be a tight fit.

eh, that's what i had at starcore. at intel, i have a 21". incidently, this is just another one of those reasons why starcore folded.

The MechE Department should do what ECE did to save on desk space; get everyone a 17" or 18" LCD. The only problem with this solution is that you don't get resolutions of 1600x1200 or above. The viewable area though is similar to a 20" monitor though.

Wow, Martin making a perverted comment on one of Dave's posts.

The end is near.

That is one of the most beautiful posts I've seen in a long time. So unexpected, yet so pure. Well, as pure as a post like that can be...

hehe my advisor was *supposed* to get us LCDs, but since he's leaving his grants/etc transfer or something. So i get the old used crap. plus its not even flat display.
