I happen to be in the market for a new computer chair. My current one is pretty uncomfortable and is starting to bother my back. I'm kinda thinking about getting this one because I can take it from the PC to the consoles without taking up extra space. The AK Octane looks pretty cool too though..

For me, it wasn't WoW, it was Dark Age of Camelot. I'd never really played an MMO before, a couple closed betas, but nothing on-going. I totally did not buy the idea that such a game could be addictive. DAoC seemed to be the same as the others I'd tried, except the first time I logged in, a...

LOL, very clever! :D :D :p

I love this monitor! I'm still just as impressed by it as I was when I got it. I got my xbox360 a couple weeks ago while still at my mother's house, and had it hooked up to her 47" Samsung 720p TV. It's an older rear projection TV. I thought everything looked great on it, a little bit...

Just got back from my mom's house late last night. She got me a 360 premium for my birthday, along with Gears of War, Crackdown, Tomb Raider and Viva Pinata, a wired controller and VGA hookups. Sweet. :D We've been playing the entire week over there, can't wait to see what it looks like on...

Still loving the monitor, I just got one problem... The freakin' remote has disappeared! :confused::confused: I have never taken it off the coffee table, so I suspect my boyfriend. He says I'm the one who lost it, but he's the one who does stuff like leave games in the silverware drawer and...

Anyone see the March PC Gamer review on the Westy? They recommended it over the 30" Dell and a 30" HP (I think). My boyfriend keeps taking it to work so I haven't really had a good look at the magazine yet. My bf and I spend more time together now thanks to the Westy. We can watch movies...

I am getting soo spoiled by this Westy. I'm sitting about 4.5-5 feet away from it, on the couch. From this close it's almost like staring at a movie screen. My boyfriend hooked his PC speaker system up to it so we could watch movies together. I also found an ethernet cable just long enough...

Jared701: The stand is not adjustable at all, unless I'm a complete idiot. It's about 3 or 4 inches tall. Black performance is better than I thought it was, when I said it was on par with my Sony monitor. I don't know what I was thinking, lol. I loaded up one of my favorite photos I've...

claudione314 is right, it's a screensaver called Dream Aquarium. Unlike a lot of aquarium screen savers, this one focuses on freshwater fish. It looks incredible on any monitor but of course on the Westy it is breathtaking! I haven't paid for a screensaver in about 6 years but I paid the $20...

This monitor is indeed over the top! But you could say the 30" displays are, too, and this is just a little step up from those. I'm glad mine has extra functionality as a console gaming display, and not just for the consoles with VGA hookups. Last night before I went to sleep, I spent some...

That is indeed Morrowind. I still play it now and again, even do a bit of modding. As for getting a standard def TV signal on the Westy, use your VCR if you have one. Plug the cable in the VCR, then plug the VCR into the Westy using the RCA/composite cables. This monitor does not have coax...

Some of my pics from the other thread. Westy is sitting on two end tables pushed together right now, but I'll be moving it to my desk as soon as my boyfriend gets an HDTV himself.

For anyone who hasn't got one of these things yet, I must stress that you should run, not walk, to the nearest e-tailer to get one. ;) I almost wish I'd put my money down on this monitor first instead of my Conroe gaming rig. I haven't seen a picture yet that really does this monitor justice...
