New geek toys!

Posted by – January 12, 2008

CompUSA is going out of business, and we have one near me.  I've been looking to upgrade my monitor on my desktop PC for a while, preferably on the cheap.  I'd stopped by the local CompUSA a few weeks ago to see if they had any good deals, but all of the interesting stuff was only about 5% off.

I decided to stop back in this evening and see if they had anything good.  They had one boxed LG 22" widescreen LCD still in stock, with pretty nice specs... and for a very reasonable price with the 15% discount, so I jumped on that.  For some reason, LG didn't include a DVI cable, only VGA.  This is slightly inconvenient since the 8600GT in my desktop machine only has DVI out, and I don't think I have any adapters handy at the moment.  I just pulled the DVI off my other LCD, and am letting my MacBook run that monitor dual-head for the moment.

Behold, in all its pixely goodness:

I don't like how photos post-processed on my MacBook appear significantly darker.  I really need to pull Photoshop off my ailing PC laptop and get it installed on my desktop machine instead.
