The Wider View ...........

Nah! its not a rant about the earth-shattering happenstances which befall me from time to time, simply that I've got a new monitor on the HP PC. Once again an impending influx of moolah and purchasing conditions ("you must buy hardware before you can buy Windows XP at this price") qualified the purchase.

This is a YURAKU 22" TFT Wide-screen, and of course I'm quite pleased with it, especially as it cost only a smidgen over £100. This has replaced my ancient but reliable 19" CRT, which when I bought it maybe seven years ago or more cost me about £700+. Of course at that price it doesnt have HDMI or even DVI interface, but hey! its a monitor FFS! How times have changed, even good quality kit has dropped in price. The wide-screen is pretty cool, suppose I should watch a DVD on it..... Anyway I also changed the screen resolution to 1280 x 800, which to my simply logic equates to nearly 4x3 ratio.

OK thats it, I'm outta here! Sayonara !!
