I use an IBM T41 for work and a desktop PC at home. Up until recently my cubicle set-up was the laptop and a full sized keyboard. However, after months of stooping and squinting due to the distance and eye level of the screen in relation to my head, I decided to break down and request a full sized monitor.

The 17″ CRT that the tech guy delivered to me is fine in terms of size and height. It really is true, though, that a 15″ LCD has as much usable space as a 17″ CRT (I am staring at one right now and I swear it is no smaller). That, however, is not my disappointment. The problem is how dull and boring my photos look on that monitor! Besides that, the header color of the template is all wrong.

I tried to adjust the settings, but the low-end monitor is not sophisticated enough to allow for adjustmetns to the RGB balance. I am planning on switching to an iMac later this year. When that happens I may just have to take my little Samsung LCD monitor to work.
