New toy!!!
I’ve just acquired a Viewsonic VX922 19″ LCD screen for my PC. I had a behemoth of a 21″ CRT, but it was just way to heavy to manhandle it back up two floors after the last time I sold it and bought it back (long story). It’s got switchable BNC & DVI inputs, so I’ve got a rock solid pin sharp image on my desktop PC via the digital DVI input, and the KVM is plugged into the BNC connector. I like the fact that it’s thickness is measured in inches rather than feet, so I actually have some elbow space on my desk now. It’s got a 2ms response time too, which means there’s none of the smearing effect you normally see when you’re watching DVDs on a LCD.
My PC setup is actually looking pretty sexy now. Not a beige part to be seen. The monitor is black, the case, a Lian-Li V-1000, is brushed Aluminium. My keybord is one of Microsoft’s new Natural Ergonomic 4000s. They’ve even put in a padded wrist rest… mmmmm.
