Well, there is that.
I can't image the logic behind something a common user like myself might need, but regardless...I can SEE again t /cue salvation music and choir of angels.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Okay, so. My system died but has come back to life...it's temporary, I know.
I purchased an new mini and am now looking for a decent/cheap monitor.
The workhorse Dell 24" I've used for years now only works if it is turned almost to a 90 degree angle to the desk and no one breaths on it.
Any recommendations for types/places?
Tigerdirect has an Acer 24 for $160 while amazon has a Viewsonic 22" for $150.
I have no idea which is the best brand anymore.
What do you think, mac users?

Follow up...probably dumb question...is there any benefit to connecting the mac mini to an hdmi hdtv when I don't intend to use the tv part?
I found a visio 24" hdtv at Costco that comes with extended warranty, etc. for not much more than a Samsung 24" LCD monitor.
Would one be better than the other?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think a 24" lcd monitor would have higher resolution than a 24" hdtv. Other than that I don't know.
I use an oldish 30" HDTV as a monitor for my Raspberry Pi.

A TV will probably be 1920x1080 while the monitor will probably be 1920x1200. I suspect a Samsung monitor will give you a better screen too.

Thank you!
I felt I should just have gone with the Samsung while I was there, but I'm so paranoid about making mistakes, I couldn't pull the trigger.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
only works if it is turned almost to a 90 degree angle to the desk and no one breaths on it.
Sounds like it could be a bad cable or port or loose connection. Worth checking, anyway.

My first thought.
I unplugged everything, replugged, adjusted...several times, to no good effect.
It might be a broken wire or something but I don't have the expertise to discern that.
My new mini will arrive on Wednesday. I'll try this monitor...it might be a bad video card...or something.

I've purchased quite a few LCD monitors from Geeks.com over the years. At any given time I have at least 15 of them around. Usually they are refurbished, but I've had pretty good luck. Here is their current list of 23" LCD panels.

So, what is the purpose of the "digital booklets" on iTunes? I don't really get why I should want them if I don't want to buy the whole album?
