So, I decided to have a bit of a "ahhh, what the ****" moment and I upgraded the monitors on my desk from 2 17" monitors to 1 40" LCD 1080P HDTV. For comparison, the "little" monitor on the right is a 17" LCD that I still use for remoting in to my work PC.

I need to buy a couple of adapter cables to get the full resolution of 1920x1080, but even 1366x768 is juuuuuuuuuust fine for now.

$999.99 at Circuit City....

^ How's that treating you with the insanely large pixels/pixel pitch? Because I had a feeling that my Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 16:10 @ 1920x1200 24" S-PVA LCD with 0.27 dot pitch is a bit large compared to my Dell 2007FP 4:3 @ 1600x1200 20" S-PVA LCD with 0.25 dot pitch :p

So, I am sorta stuck with 1366x768 until the adapters show up. In other words, it steps down to that resolution if you are just using a standard D-Sub VGA connector. There are DVI->HDMI adapters on Amazon for 15$ each, I have two of them on the way. If you use an HDMI input, then I can go all the way to 1920x1080.

However, even with the lower res, it is still very easy on the eyes, and BRIGHT!!!!

That's interesting. Have you tried removing the display from device manager and let the graphics card re-detect it? Because I have a 42" full HD TV and it outputs 1920x1080 via both VGA and HDMI and I simply don't see a reason that they would cripple the VGA resolution.

Oh yeah, it was the first thing I tried. Trust me, I didn't want to spend 29.98$ on two adapter cables.

The catch is that the PC sees it as a "Plug and Play Monitor". The TV itself limits VGA inputs to 1366x768 and only lets me use the higher res on HDMI inputs. I cannot wait, my MacBook Pro will be HDMI 1 and my PC will be HDMI 2. I am sure I will eventually break down and buy a PS3 by the end of the year. Damn you American Express for approving the sale. :wacko:

Updated setup. I have positioned my computer desk elsewhere. I'll get more pics of my new setups and placing soon. These 4 pics shows my main PC setup, I'm happy with this setup :D

Just do it, trust me, all of mine are on the floor and in a corner, it helps the acoustics.

Just kinda updated my desk a little.

OLD:

NEW:

As you can see I updated and got a 22" Acer and got rid of the 17" Gateway. I got the new G15 to replace the old. I got a Razer Death Adder to replace my old copperhead, Icemat Sibera headphones to replace my Plantronic Audio.90's, and the Antec 900 case to replace my old Lian Li. I also got a new mobo/proc/video card, etc on the inside.

Bought a new Fredrik Table from IKEA :)

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

you put a hole in your desk?!

[SMELTN]

actually got the desk from my father in law when he got a new one, and the hole was already there... As you can see I have 2 wires for the subwoofer going through it, and I could have done that without making a hole :)

[SMELTN]

I actually quit playing about a month ago.. After 4 years I am finally done.

Sorry :)

[okdaddio]

How does that work?

It has to do with the proximity effect and with low frequency sound waves being omnidirectional.

I have a music business minor and that's all I remember :)

[J400uk]
