It’s a ViewSonic VX922. It’s only 1280×1024, but it’s (theoretically) extremely fast; they claim a 2ms response time. I currently have it connected to my laptop at work, but the real test will be with my gaming PC at home. Sounds like a reason to play WoW tonight!
In any case, it’s bright, it has no stuck pixels, and even at 19″ it’s a *lot* bigger than my old 17″ CRT. I paid $329 at Best Buy. There are probably cheaper prices.

Ya Deb, I can easily find $350 worth of knitting supplies you REALLY need on that site. Now if you can get your response time for each knitting action down to 2ms I’ll be impressed. Ever considered doing a WoW knitted impression of McQ’s Rogue?
I suggested to Deb that she should do quilted wall hangings of WoW characters. It would be pretty easy to posterize the character portrait with photoshop, then just color match each area with fat quarters, and machine quilt the result. If you could get the time to produce them down to something reasonable, I’m sure there would be good money to be made.
[…] As you probably know, I bought a I bought a Viewsonic LCD monitor a month ago. Well, when I turned it on this morning, it had a column of pixels on the right side that was all green. Boo. What’s worse, when I packed it all up to take it back to the store for a repair, I couldn’t find my bill. […]
