So I got my laptop replacement desktop today. Nice fast CPU/harddisk. Screen not so nice. 19" Wide Samsung N933 (not sure about that model nr, but the link is correct)[^] , with a shocking resolution of 1360 x 768. That equates to 35 lines of code you can see on screen, and a 80DPI :sigh: Update: my font size is already 9pt Consolas. The font degrades when going smaller than that :( Update 2: Ahh crap! Looks like the CPU is an el cheapo too... http://techgage.com/article/intel_pentium_dual-core_e5200/3[^] :sigh:

That'll teach you not to read/understand the specs first.

I asked for a decent monitor due to the laptop only having a 1400 x 900 resolution, and this is what I got. I guess I will replace it with a square 17" or buy my own.

((lambda (x) `((lambda (x) ,x) ',x)) '`((lambda (x) ,x) ',x))sounds like a failure to adequately define your requirements. A few months ago IT came around to everyone who still had a CRT and asked if they could replace my 18" CRT with an LCD. My response "not unless you can provide a replacement with equal or greater resolution". "How about an LCD like the one sitting next to it (pointed at a 19" 1280x1024 POS". "I run the CRT at 1600x1200, 1680x1050 would still be a downgrade; If you've got extra good panels around I'd consider swapping out the low res LCD for something more capable..." I'm still using my two old monitors. :/

That or got an LCD TV instead of a monitor... I whipped up a WPF demo for my boss last year to display on his 50" LCD TV that had the same resolution. I ended up having to work on it from home because I have a personal widescreen laptop (1440 x 900) while my work monitor only goes up to 1280 x 1024 and kept cutting off the edges of the app.
Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river which gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your client provides no concrete or steel, only timber and cut stone (but they won't tell you what kind). The coefficient of gravity changes randomly from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer

Pity, this nice PC does not have a dedicated GFX card, so no dual monitors either :((

pathetically cheap monitors run in giant blocky pixels even though they're huge. It's cheaper and it caters to the old farts who're half blind. I'd swag barely half of the 24" 1920x1200 monitors where I work are run at native resolution since a prereq for one is a management lobotomy.

Looks like it. I am starting to get worried. - crap screen - out of production hard drive - el cheapo CPU - probably slow ram I did notice builds were slow...

Crazy. My work gave me a crappy 19 inch square monitor. I went out and purchased a 22 inch 1680X1050 monitor. My boss got the company to reimburse me. I can't work without dual monitors. I need one for Visual Studio and Another for Query Analyzer! The SQL monitor as I refer to it can be square but the VS monitor has to be wide screen.

I've never seen a DVI-D connector on a monitor port, always DVI-I, which supports analog & digital. What's the model# ?
standard D series dock (no internal expansion slot). It has 1 analog vga port and one 1 DVI-D. I believe it is this model: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Docking_Station/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=gen&sku=310-7704&~lt=popup&~ck=XYRelated[^] and I was shocked to discover it was a DVI-D port myself.

defacto yes. I've noticed that the 1366x768 lcd seems to be replacing the 1280x800/1024 as the bottom of the barrel screen; presumably because it is the same part as in cheapo tvs. the good is that it's higher res than the standard crap laptop lcd. The bad it's worse than the standard crap desktop lcd, and widescreen sucks for reading text fullscreen because of the lower number of lines shown. (unless high enough res to do two pages side by side).
