Whatever you do John, don't throw it away. >Someone can (try to) fix/use it even if you don't want to. The old monitor is up for grabs. I just got back from ENU where I purchased a new ASUS 21.5 LED monitor that does 1920 x 1080. It is connected and working fine. The vertical height is the same, but it is wider. After adjusting the resolution in Lucid to 1920 x 1680 it looks much nicer than the old monitor. It cost me $168, less a $10 rebate, if ASUS actually sends it to me. (Hate mail-in rebates.) I shopped and ASUS, Samsung and Viewsonic are the only ones left offering a 3 year warranty. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
