So my new toy came in today...
This is the new 24 inch flat screen from Dell. I have to say - this thing is beautiful. It is a pleasure to look at. Compare it to my old 18 inch flatscreen:
My old flat screen looks dusty and dim in comparison. The Dell also has a card reader (supports all the major types) and some USB ports.
The only issues I had was in setup. At first I couldn't get DVI to work with the screen, then I had issues with the layout of screens, but after playing with it enough I think I have it perfect now.

Very nice...What's the native resolution?
Forget the DVI issue..... How'd you get that beast through the door?! I suppose refinancing your house to pay for it could have covered door-widening, too.
Seriously, I salivate over the flat screens everytime I'm in a Best Buy. The 17" ones are dropping to the $300 range, and there was a 21" beauty for $900, but my recent iPod acquisition quelled any hopes for such a beefy screen anytime soon.
how much $?
Stevent/Anon: This was very cheap. I got it for 1004. The base price is 11xx or so.
Blaine, 1920 x 12xx or something.
Hey guys, I'm testing a blog bug. I may ask one of you to post a nonsense entry here. If this bugs the rest of you, please let me know.
Guys, forgive the dummy posting.
Another fake post.
Yet another. This should be close to the end.
One last post. I'll explain all of this is a new entry soon.
I certainly hope so, Fake. You are really bugging me.
Nice monitor!
I myself am stuck at work with a 19" dell flat panel and a 20" flat screen CRT (dual monitor setup)
I don't even like using my computer at home anymore, because my old single 17" flat CRT just doesn't cut it =)
Where'd you get the groovy Lion King desktop background?!
Nice screen!
Alex - it's a screen from the upcoming movie, Mirror Mask. I believe the site is mirrormask.com.
Nice! Very nice...Now you need another so you can do 3200x1200 ;)
Very cool. Stuff like this makes me wish I didn't buy such an expensive laptop and got a cheap laptop instead and a nice (expandable) desktop...
so, what are you going to do with the old "dingy" monitor? Since it is so dingy and dull I'll take it off your hands - you won't even have to pay me :O)
contact me if you are selling it if I can afford it ..well, I'll buy it :O)
And you'll be talking to your boss about ordering 8 more of those babies for your dev team to play Half-life...I mean write code, right? ;-)
I also got a new LCD, through mine is just a 19" -- could not afford more. Got it at future shop, managed to avoid getting extended warranty with it.
Yes it is an awsome monitor.....
Mine just came in yesterday and once i got it set up, WOW.....
