So my parents bought me a new screen for my 21st. 19″ Philips 190B7B LCD screen. It so awesome, only one USB on it though. Had to get my PC working before I could use it, found my RAM has died… theres a 512mb stick down the drain. Luckily had another one in the cupboard but I think it is faulty too.

Anyway, the screen is awesome booted, up Fedora, changed the res to 1280×1024 and it looks beautiful. You really need an LCD for linux (well, gnome anyway) cos the title bars and stuff are a bit chunky. Beryl and Emerald look beautiful! Its incredible how nice this screen is.

The one thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t raise as high as I’d like it to but its OK. Still have both my 17″ CRT’s sitting on the desk, the screen is just on one of my servers (a converted D510). Other than that that its wicked, I can watch a movie, surf trademe, and something else at the same time. Kickass!
