IT'S HUUUUUUGE!
I just got my new monitor and OMG ITS COVERED IN STUCK PIXELS!!@# LOOK!!! Gah, such an annoying pattern too. I'll never be able to ignore that! Oh wait...
time passes...
Heh... Got that cleared up. So, there it is: 1,764,000 pixels of digital clarity in half the space of the previous monitor (and much less than half the weight, let me tell you). Oh, yeah... That is a powered USB hub on the right side of the monitor. Nice. I need to hook up my PS2 or GC up to try out the picture-in-picture mode. I need to find a better spot for my speakers, though. They used to just hang off the sides of the monitor using an adjustable bracket but that just won't do for this monitor. Plus, the added weight throws off the height adjustment mechanism.
Unfortunately, there are two stuck sub-pixels, each an inch apart from one another. They're only noticable on a completely black screen, though and I'd let that slip by if it weren't for this.
That's a lot of backlight bleeding. It's noticible in dark scenes when watching movies. It's probably going to bother me enough to call Dell for a replacement. Might as well take advantage of that 14-day total satisfaction guarantee. Oh well. It looks perfectly fine when browsing the web or, and this is important, when playing games. That much, it does beautifully.
The 12ms refresh is nice. There is no noticible blurring when playing WoW and Hazuki-chan looks cho-kawaii on this monitor. Okeh... So, she's always looked cute.
Since I consider you all my friends, you may all come over to smell the monitor. Bring offerings.
