I have the typical farsightedness that so many of us old folks suffer from, more and more each year, but this week I found the cure for straining to see your computer monitor!On the right is my new "old folk monitor"! 42" vertical inches of pure bliss!! Oh yeah, I still have the 25" baby monitor on the left for email and such, but I don't spend much time doing that. I have to say, reading discussion boards and surfing the Internet on this thing is a DREAM! My video card even lets me turn the screen 90 degrees, so very little page scroll is needed! I haven't gotten the wall mount yet, but when I do, I'll mount it sideways! This has really taken away the headaches from squinting and using glasses. If you have the same problems, this is the best few hundred bucks you can spend on yourself! -Rich

Don't be fooled by him HE CAN SEE REAL GOOD. Do you see the HALF NAKED GIRLS IN THE PICTURE ON THE WALL!! Its just that his eyes get all watery and stuff after looking at the picture then when he looks down at the monitor he can't see it so well Alleyoop

Ha ha... funny Alley! Actually, that's a "Girls of Harley Davidson" calendar... I know Miss. February personally. ;D
Thanks Earthman, it's good to be missed! I have had a lot on my plate lately or I would have.

I've got a wireless keyboard, mouse and a MCE remote control setup to control the HTPC I have hooked up to my 46" Sony Bravia with an HDMI cable. Makes one hell of monitor. LOL.
The HTPC serves as my BluRay/DVD player and is used streaming Hulu. I also use Boxee to watch videos and to stream MLB.TV content during baseball. I can't watch my Detroit Tigers without it, since I live well out of market down here in Florida.
