    My cat knocked over my previous monitor and broke it, so I got a new 32" one. This one doesn't have internal speakers (which I didn't realize), so I've ordered a pair of earbuds from Amazon to use. Old monitor was 24" (and had crappy internal speakers), so this is a big upgrade.

    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

      These days I just use big 4k TVs for monitors. It gets expensive, but I find its worth it.

          I don't muck around when it comes to my computer. I don't nickel and dime. My last "monitor" cost me $900 and I'd spend it again. 55" of 4k QLED goodness. If I'm going to be staring at something all day, I want it to be worth looking at. Also this way I don't need to mess around with multiple monitors. I have so much screen real-estate I just use Win+Arrow to rearrange multiple windows around my display as though I was using multiple monitors.

            I have been using an old 40" LED TV that has an input port for "computer" for a couple of years now. I have been delighted with it. It doesn't have any speakers that work, and I haven't tried to make them work. I have a cheap but comfortable, over the ear earphones that I plug into my desktop if i need to listen to anything. This has the advantage of drowning out SWMBO, whenever she is trying to talk to. or yell at me. enjoy your new monitor and give your cat a good talking to, if you think it will help. It won't.

            Happy in NOLA

              I remember my first LCD monitor (19", 4:3, 1280x1024, I believe) set me back $1600, before taxes. My 4K 40" TV was a bargain, in comparison, at $500. That, I'd do again.

                Ah, the bad old days. :-D Frankly I don't know why everyone doesn't just use TVs now.

                  I recently bought a my first 34', 3440x1440 @144Hz (4,9 Mpixel) monitor. There are others better than this for sure (as it is not that expensive), but I am really happy with it.

                  M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
