Monitor question

Brightness as a text factor, that sounds useful to keep in mind even if only next time changing settings with this Westinghouse. Especially with time you've run with Dells, that well may be unacceptability a dropping-point to consider for likelihood among other offerings. Between now and the next time I think I need a new monitor, I hope to see a monitor having "VA" technology pixels (rather than IPS or TN). Remember the monitor the IBM PC came with? I think there was just one--possibly in two sizes. Things have changed! : ) -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Wasn't a week ago when running into resistance flat-panels for touch screens, two or three offerings were summed among advancements at least across marketed offerings. Important, as I'd think my "generational" handheld in the middle of what's available for the best possible contrast to brighten and sharpen text. A "littleness of pages" , 8 or 10 inches on a handhelds, oriented rectangularity by gravitational sensor, portrait or landscape, and an operating system's resilience to not so bad a software lineup for readers. Didn't take long for most of a world of (handheld) readers, anyway, to reverse 400 years of a printing press, more desirable for many with software readers able to change white pages into black and text all about brightest whites. Absolutely no idea how, offhand, or where that might translate into larger display technology, other than to seem a possibility. |

"In the flesh" copies of the USA Today newspaper are up to $2 a piece--and worth it too, when you really want one. I used to "deliver" 7 copies of a big city paper to your door for $1.25/week on my bicycle, before sunup. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

The snow (MI) didn't bug me as much as the sub-zero temperatures. I tried a sled and a wheelbarrow, pushing the bike worked as well as anything. All, this for a little more than 2 bucks a day, huh! They called that "learning the value of a dollar..."...lol Now, folks pay +$5 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks (I haven't been there yet). -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

China then drank per capita 3 cups a year. Of course Starbucks, for one of their candbar-in-blender, coffee concoctions was charging also the Chinese $7/US a cup. Only the younger Chinese, tech oriented with a sense of trends, or, likely similar to Britain, predominately a residual tea crowd. Funny thing being, Vietnam is only second now to Brazil for gross world coffee production. It's always that way, though, learning value for the young means venture business will stay in that grove. . .a day eventually comes when they'll say things like -- 'No, honey, let's not go hang out at the mall, shopping. Why don't you chill, have a beer, and instead we'll sit here watching the guys chase a ball on television.' |
