OUT FOR DELIVERY - Computer
Posted on: 2008-04-15 09:33:51

Once upon a time, I was using a 17" KDS crt monitor, and aside from being only 17", it was a nice little monitor. I had picked it up at WalMart as a quick fix once my old one had died. It was going to be a rental while I ordered a new one, but I really liked the KDS monitor. So, I kept it, and I got years of use out of it. Sadly, a few months ago, it died.

In the interim, I have been using the wife's old monitor. It is, uh, kinda old. It still works just fine, but being an old curved screen it always seems to catch a glare. Also, being something Erin owned, it is covered with stickers...well, maybe not covered, but it does have a dozen or so more than I would like.

So, now for the new toy, which as odd as it seems is the first in almost two years. My new monitor, a Sceptre X20WG-Naga, is on its way and should arrive sometime today. It is an end of life product (even though they won't really say that), so I got it for about $100 off the MSRP, which is always nice. Even for an end of life product, it exceeds every spec of any monitor I have ever owned and should probably suit me for years to come.


Did Rook see it?

Rook said something about you getting a new monitor. After seeing it, I'm surprised he wasn't asking for one. By the way what did it cost?

I did not pull up any pictures of it while he was here, so he can't be drooling yet. But that does not mean he won't later after he does see it in all its widescreen glory.

Shipping and all it was just under $200. Me and Erin had kind of arbitrarily set a limit of $250 and this was well below that.

Looked up the weight. It weighs 25 lbs. big difference from that thing Rook has.
