Everything you didn't know you wanted


This Dell 2005FP 20” monitor is the cat’s meow. It is even better than I could have hoped for. It was like my computer was trapped behind my obviously sub-par 19” CRT and has been unleashed in all of its digital glory. Not only that, but the brightness of this thing is stunning — yet it is so much easier on my eyes. And it doesn’t wobble like the CRT did, which means I should be more productive at home.

If you spend more than a couple of hours a day in front of a computer, you need to consider using an LCD if you aren’t already. Not only do they provide the obvious savings in space, but they are also much better on your eyes and for your posture. The better contrast means that people don’t need to be so close to the monitor all the time. This can keep you from hunching forward — allowing you to lean back into a more natural position. You keyboard plays a factor into this as well, but that is another story altogether.
