Heading West

Tomorrow we leave for a 5 day trip to California. With travel, it’ll be more like 4 days but it’ll still be an awesome trip. Really, not much more to say on the subject as I’m a bit tired. We are indeed excited, minus the flight. I’ve come to expect the worst when flying, that way I’m almost always pleasantly surprised!

In totally unrelated news, I’ve been looking again at LCD monitors. C jokes that if she needs something researched, I’m the guy to go to as I’ll research the HELL out of something - she’s absolutely correct. I now know a lot more about LCD monitors. This is good and bad. Bad because I now know that the kind I want is rather expensive as I really want accurate colors and a wide color gamut. Basically, if you see a 24″ LCD monitor that is less than $500, good chance it has what is called a ‘TN panel’. TN panels (from what I’ve read thus far) don’t have the most accurate color, but have great response times for gamers.

Beyond that, nothing terribly exciting. Getting more excited about new job as it is something new. Not thrilled to leave my current company as it has been great to here.

    Based on what I know about your hobbies obviously a twisted nematic film LCD isn’t going to cut it. I would recommend an Advanced True White IPS LCD, perhaps the NEC LCD3090WQXi? My research indicates this monitor is favorable in the professional/photography arena.

    PS - I hope Gatsby is feeling better.
