I really don't like the 1080p monitor resolution.

Yeah, I've been hovering over the buy button.

I now have one. The screen area is enormous. I like it a lot.

New laptop has 1920x1200. Much better than 1080p.
Because fucking marketing cunts would never call a spade anything other than a Deluxe Easi-Shift Earth Movement Solution.

Well, yes, when I wrote "still have it" I meant "still have it and the additional 6 that I bought used for less and less money over the years". But that particular model is better suited for office or graphics work, the panels are really slow, the mouse pointer drags substantially. Not so great for fast moving stuff.Dio wrote:Indeed. I had a 1600x1200 TFT in 2001 (Dell 2001fp; those, and the following 2004fp, are the best monitors to use for TFT arcade cabs, by the way - 4:3 resolution and great picture quality. I bought three of the latter for £50 each on ebay a couple of years back for just this purpose).
The best one of those displays unfortunately killed itself. I had lovingly cleaned it up and put it on the table, turned around and it crashed to the ground and cracked its panel. The cast aluminium pedestal apparently had fatigued and snapped in half just at the "neck". The years of spring tension on the adjustable joint had been too much.
