Well, I finally have a good resolution (now 1920 X 1080).. it was already turned up at max of 800 x 600 on my old monitor. (I like it big and easy on the eyes) I skipped the 24 inch and went for the 27 inch. I wanted to try a curved one (my kids were very impressed by the curve :) and the 24 inch just looked like it wasn't really a big difference with the curve.. now my eyes are still getting used to looking at this mini IMAXish screen! :P
I bet some of you are wondering how much this beast cost me. I did look on ebay, but thought I would pay the extra $10-20 and get it from a source I trust way more..
I haven't upgraded my setup since 2016 (maybe replacing a mouse or two, but that's it), so I decided to splurge and get this new monitor, along with a new desk, keyboard, etc.
I even got a little rug/mat to lay down under my chair.. on yea. I removed the wheels (I hate that it moves around so much and I would constantly have to reset my position..) plus, I like to sit lower, so my knees form that 90 angle and I can have my keyboard rest on my lap. and so I don't hurt the floor or tear the mat, I put cut tennis balls on the ends of the chair feet.
ps. Since I am not rolling back and forth TO the desk anymore, and because the screen is just too big to be so close to it, I positioned my chair back a bit and put a suitcase on the side to hold my mouse. (and it makes a great drink holder!)
That's about it. I am very happy with how it all turned out and it makes me that much happier to be here in my spot most of the day..
😊😉😎👊
Last word.. besides the pricier stuff, these little upgrades really added the most and I would've gotten them sooner if I had known I would like em so much..
the black (many colors to choose from) desk mat ($9) and the little gel wrist rest ($8).
