Umm... why do you need to check on IRC an Email all the time? Perhaps not being able to concentrate on the work at hand is your problem? > Perhaps I've waited long enough to treat myself to a new display with all > the space I need. :) Nah, there's no too long time. I used my previous dislay (17" CRT) for about 7 years until it died, having been in its dying spasms for year (kicking and hitting helps with dying hardware!), and then got this TFT, using an ancient laptop as a serial terminal while the shop took two weeks to deliver it (even though they had it in stock). (At least in .fi, it's best to order TFTs online, BTW: the law dictates an unconditional 14 day right of return, so if there's a single dead pixels, just return it, no questions asked. Can't do that with IRL shops.) Anyway, unless something really remarkable happens (like 4800x3600 on 17"), I'm likely to use this display as well, until it dies. -- Tuomo
