NEW MONITOR

I'm so excited - I finally got a new monitor: 22 inches of solid lusciousness!


Landscape format with a sexy, shiny black trim - may I present the LG Flatron W2252TQ, as recommended by Computer Shopper as being great for graphics, and in my opinion the Rolls Royce of monitors in its price bracket. And it is super duper - no more hunching up to the screen.

Even with my 2nd pair of middle-distance (computer) glasses in under a year, with the old monitor (17 inches and square) I was sitting hunched over with my nose around 8 inches from the screen (even with my monitor adjusted to a larger setting and using the zoom key on my MS Smart Keyboard). I am already wondering how I ever used to manage... I'm comfortable, sitting back in my chair, shoulders down (I was getting round shouldered) at the perfect distance. I am so happy!

And I can't tell you how nice it is to actually see the SIDES of my blog backgrounds (with small monitors you only get about an inch of the outer borders).

Whoopee! Just had to share. Doesn't take much to make me happy!
