Well I'm here alone in the BlueTower, as MrsBlue wings her way to the west coast to see what it may possibly hold for our future. We'll be separated for four days, which is pretty much the longest we've been apart in pushing 18 years of living together. Weird to say the least.

Re: Monitor Troubles

My work has had to replace a bunch of Viewsonics that are only a couple of years old, but the Dells have worked great. I have a 30" Dell at home that is quite good, except the gamut is too high so some colors are wrong (avoid high gamut) My parents and brother each have a 20" Dell that has been running well for several years. (one had an issue that was fairly common for IPS monitors at the time where there was was a dark area across the top of the screen that looked like a watermark, so Dell shipped a new monitor and we shipped back the old monitor in that box) Dells have more adjustable stands, and IMO they have a nicer overall design. Input lag is hard to measure correctly. In this case where there is less than a frame of difference between two choices, I wouldn't worry about it... it may even be a testing error. I hope Apple starts using IPS when they switch their laptops to retina displays... it really is much better than TN, though I'll admit I'm pickier than most.
