Your New LCD Monitor
Did you get an LCD monitor for the Holidays? Might need this piece of freeware:
EyeRelief 1.00 is a small, simple and free Windows utility that provides improved legibility to high density LCDs, allowing larger font, icon, tool and taskbar sizes at native resolutions. Users with, e.g., SXGA+, UXGA and higher resolutions LCDs may find EyeRelief's desktop scaling a superior alternative to running at lower non-native resolutions.
I went LCD and haven't looked back. CRT? No, not even for gaming. Remember, I got Ponz her own LCD a few months ago. I've been given clearance to get an HDTV, but I don't think I'm ready for a 500-pounder. We may have to go with a smaller LCD for now; I'd like to steer clear of plasma. Sean's HDTV looks nice. Any recommendations for the less-than-ideal situation?

Hey, this program caused some big problems for my dad… read the full description of what happened, and how it was fixed, here: http://techrambler.blogspot.com/2005/01/computer-problems-are-dime-dozen.html
I'm going to play around and look for a better way than just a system restore, since obviously this isn't plausible for everyone. I've contacted their tech support staff, as well as their support board, and I'll update things on my blog.

Avoid plasma at all costs. Go with an LCD projection TV. I got the Hitachi 50V500 over a year ago and couldn't be happier. Yes, you do have to worry about a single projector bulb replacement eventually, but if you get the extended warranty it covers bulb replacement and is cheaper than paying for a service call to replace the bulb.
Whatever you buy, make sure that AFTER you get it home you hire a certified technician to calibrate the HDTV picture.
