I’m quite disappointed today. My graphics card’s VGA feature didn’t seem to work anymore. Now while editing this blog post, everything looks so different for me.

At first I thought it’s my BenQ monitor that went wrong. I plugged the monitor into the lap top and everything looked fine. I am able to extend the laptop desktop to the monitor. So it means the culprit is probably my graphics card.

My graphics card VGA feature works no more. Now I use DVI.

I used to run my display setting at 1280 x 768. I am one of those few people who uses this screen resolution. Now I use DVI instead of VGA. And I can’t set to that resolution! Presumably, my graphics card probably doesn’t support that resolution for DVI. It’s a horror!

Now I run my screen resolution at 1440 x 900 which makes my text quite small. Most web pages don’t support resolutions like this. Even my blog is set to favor people using 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768.

So I zoom the text with Opera to 120%. It doesn’t look right. The borders are 2 pixels instead of 1 sometimes. There are problems with the kerning of the text too. I see several underlining faults. These minor errors degrades my internet browsing experience. Sighs…

Maybe I’ll try Firefox or Internet Explorer 7 next week or something.

I’ve got a new monitor! It’s widescreen. I chose a widescreen monitor because I feel it increases productivity for me. I was really excited about it when I brought it home yesterday. I just tore the plastic like a little kid and plug the monitor in. It works great!

My new BenQ widescreen LCD monitor.

(My new BenQ widescreen LCD monitor. Can you guess what are the things that I own?)

Would you be able to guess what are the brand of the things in this picture? Try guessing the following:

* What’s the two devices sitting atop my CPU?
* What’s the brand of my mouse?
* What programs am I running?
* The brands of my CD-ROM, CD-RW and DVD-RW drives. You’re an absolute nerd if you get that right.

Any guesses?

I’m getting a 19 inch widescreen LCD screen. I probably get the Dell one. I have been hunting around for an LCD screen for quite some time. I love to own one of those widescreens as it is more productive in my opinion.

I use software such as Visual Studio, Photoshop and Illustrator and they have lots of tiny windows at the side. So I thought it may be good that I get one of those widescreen monitors so that I can work better.

It costs about SG$399 to SG$499 at the PC Show 2006 in Singapore. The price is alright. Not too bad. The 20 inch ones are pretty but a little off budget going at SG$699 for most.
