If you use your computer a lot, plan on buying a lot of batteries or having a backup for a wireless with a charger.

As for monitors, you can get them on pricewatch pretty cheap now.  I actually bought my son a 21 inch Sony on ebay for 200 including shipping.  For my own 19 inch, I bought it at a rent-to-own furniture store.  Once they have them a few months, they sell them and I bought it for 40. and it's like new. 

I recently had a monitor conk out, so I got the one out that came with my personal computer (a couple years old but never used). 

Everything was fine for a few weeks but lately, out of the blue, my page will shift to the right for no apparent reason (leaving 1-1/2 inch of black on the left and the right edge of the page not in view) and then it will shift back at some point.

When I press on the monitor menu button, nothing happens at all.  I know when I first set it up, the menu and selections worked fine.

Any idea what is happening here? 

My husband and I "built" our new computer on Dell's website last night, and they are offering a second monitor for a very reasonable rate.  My question is, does anyone have this set-up using 2 monitors to work?  I didn't quite see the use for 2, but maybe to have one just for typing, and the other for my references? 

Apparently, it is set up that you just have to move your mouse and it will move over to the other screen....seems easy enough.  But, I don't know if it would be worth the extra space it would take up on my desk and work area.  So,does anyone have this set-up and consider it a must?

Thanks very much for your help! 

Does anybody know where to find a good example of a Holter monitor report?

Click on second link under Q and A.   I know there is a report in there.  Check the whole site.  Lots of info.

Just wondering what everyone uses.  I use a 17 inch but would like a 19 or 21.  I like mine big, but my mom who is also an MT says when the monitor is too big it slows down her production because her eyes have to travel further back and forth to read what she is typing.  LOL  Everyone is different.  I've seen these huge monitors at the computer stores lately, widescreen, like 30 inches, and they look pretty cool.  So...what size monitor does everyone use or would like to use?  Thanks!

I am really troubled by eye strain ... got new computer glasses from eye doc but still not happy ... a number of people have said I should swap my CRT monitor out for a flat screen LCD.  I'm game to do it, but have been reading reviews until I'm brain-dead!  Thought maybe you folks here might share what brand of LCD you are using, and if you are happy with it for word processing.  I hear some are better for text than others, and I don't want to shell out the bucks without looking into it.  TIA!

on jobs.mtstars.com... Two inappropriate ads placed.  Both came up under search under sears all and Workers' Comp.

Thanks for maintaining a great board and your attention on this!

What size of monitor are you using??? I am seriously considering buying a new one and would appreciate input as to what people have, including brand suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I have finally decided to replace my old monitor. I was wondering if anyone has bought one lately, what brand and where. I would like to go to a bigger monitor and I'm thinking that if I don't go to a flat screen, I simply won't have room for the "regular" ones. I don't want to spend alot of money, was hoping to get one for under $200.00.  Also, I would like to have a spare mouse, which I don't have now - are the wireless ones working well for those who have one?

Bought at Best Buy (monitor) or Office Depot (Logitech mouse)

But the monitor is big, not a thin trinitron.......you could go to the website or contact dell dot com for pricing of a thin monitor.

Best luck!! 

I will be starting a second job next week and need to use that companies computer.  I know I need a syslink router to enable them both to use our cable modem, but I know there is a box you can get so you can use one monitor and turn the dial to switch back and forth between computers.  Anyone know what this is called and where to get it?   Also, is there a way to use only one mouse and keyboard also, or will I have to have 2 keyboards and 2 mice on my desk?  (I have a small desk and am limited on space).  Thanks for all help!!
