Woooh! New 23" Acer H233H BMID. Very happy with this monitor. Absolutely blows my Samsung out of the water when it comes to color accuracy and brightness/contrast. The resolution is a touch higher than the Samsung, sitting at 1920x1080, so it's a bit harder on the video card, but everything plays on it great. The best part about upgrading to the 23" though, was keeping the 20" as a second monitor! Yes, I've got it sitting to the left of the 23", and it works well for instant messaging and things I want to monitor while doing more important things on the 23". If I knew how helpful that dual monitors was going to be, I would have gotten a second a loooooooooooooong time ago.
NEW IEMS!
Yep, ordered some in ear monitors. I was torn between 3 entry level phones, the Shure SE115s, Etymotic ER-6is, and the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3s. I ended up going with the ER-6is, even though they are the oldest. From the reviews I had read they were the most accurate of the 3, although they lacked bass. I really don't know what those reviewers were smoking, but I don't want any of it, because the bass on these things is perfect. Not enough to overpower the highs and mids like my EP-630s, but not so little as to ruin the music listening experience.
All I can say about these buds is... Wow. I never knew what I was really missing in music until now. MP3s are okay, but my lossless collection really shines. I could hear things I never could before. Slight coughs, breathing, people in the background, etc... It's amazing.
Anyway, that was just a quick post to update.
Cheers,
