Monitor Died

Mr. Analog · February 25, 2019, 07:55:14 AM

After several years my monitor died last night, can't say I'm surprised given how much abuse I've given it over the years

Say goodbye ASUS PB287Q!

I ordered a replacement which should be coming Wednesday

Say hello ASUS MG28UQ!

Until then work is going to be ... challenging on the tiny laptop monitor (unless my laptop has a DisplayPort connection, which it might, hmm....)

Like I suggested via IM - hook up to your TV and work from the couch!

Tuns out my Laptop has a DisplayPort connection on the side (the dock does not though ... weird) anyway I should be able to hook up my gaming monitor to it.

Can't wait to start coding at 144 Hz

Ultra smooth cursor and scrolling action.

You'll probably be stuck answering inane questions from other departments through Outlook all day, then.

They're higher resolution than real life!

New monitor is here, once it warms up I'll hook it up 👍

I'm still using that Dell you gave me Mr. A! Still works great! Better image quality than my second ever LCD monitor. an old BenQ. always had a tint and came cracked but didn't notice for ages.... should have RMAed it.

I'm glad, that was a quality monitor
