    Help with monitor selection. (Westy 37" vs. Dell 24".)

    I have a Westinghouse 37 and a Dell 2405. I prefer the Westy.

    Got my Westinghouse LVM-37W3 37" 1080p display today!

    Thanks for the tip. When I switched to the DVI-1 port, the alignment problem was fixed. I have no idea what is up with DVI-2.

    Got my Westinghouse LVM-37W3 37" 1080p display today!

    I just set up this monitor for the first time and I think I have a similar issue. The picture is shifted about half a centimeter to the left, and I am not sure how to correct it. Is this something I need to do with the video card? I don't have the ATI Catalyst control panel installed. I just...

    Best Laptop for a Web Programmer

    I took a look at those sager laptops that tickle_me_emo mentioned. It was not a brand I am familiar with, but they seem to offer some great laptops. I didn't realize people were selling 19inch laptops. I would probably have to see one of these in person before buying one, which I doubt that I...

    Best Laptop for a Web Programmer

    It looks like the MacBook Pro is going to be the winner. gunnm74 and swatbat raised some great points about Macs. I looked for Lenovo laptops, but they don't seem to offer any 17inch screens. The Toshiba laptops look nice, but are targeted for multimedia purposes.

    Best Laptop for a Web Programmer

    Thanks for the suggestions. You are correct that I don't need a 3D card, since I will not be playing games. I guess that knocks the XPS down a peg. My reason for thinking of a 17inch screen would be in case where I have to work at the client site for a few weeks. The 24 inch monitor I...

    Best Laptop for a Web Programmer

    I am going to start evaluating laptops to use for Web development work while traveling, and for presentations and meetings. Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Visual Studio, SQL Server. My two top choices are Dell XPS M1710 and the 17 inch MacBook Pro. What else should I consider? Something by Toshiba...

    2407 release date

    I got tired of waiting and bought a 2405 with one of those 30% off coupons last week. A05 revision. 0 dead pixels. I am happy.

    Can't go to apple because of these windows programs....

    I have been thinking about buying a 17inch MacBook Pro and using it as a Windows XP machine until OS X 10.5 comes out, but then I remembered that it only has one mouse button. I think a laptop with only one mouse button would be very frustrating to use.

    red pixel

    Open up the video in QuickTime. Select the loop option. Press play. Also turn off your screen saver and disable the monitor power management. This program did not work for me. I ran it over night.
