The DHL delivery girl got a hug because my 24-inch monitor arrived today. I’ve just tweaked the home office setup with this $300 (refurbished said the penny-pinching, full-time blogger) display and it now becomes the primary monitor for the Samsung Q1UP. Since this UMPC supports resolutions at 1920×1200, I decided to take advantage of it: the 1440 x 900, 19-incher was nice, but I was running out of real estate with all of those Firefox tabs open.
This is a honkin’ big monitor. I think I could arrange nearly six UMPCs on the face of it if I laid it down. I feel more productive already, although it might affect my mobile usage. No, I’m not going to carry this around with me… if I was going to do that, I might as well lug an HP Dragon! I’m wondering how I’ll feel on the 1024 x 600 Q1UP display at 7-inches when I hit up Starbucks tomorrow…. Any UMPC owners dealing with "large external monitor withdrawal" these days?
In any case, at least someone will get good use out of the not-so-old 19-inch monitor. The country S.P.C.A. is in need of monitors and PCs, so I’ll drop the display off. I hear the cats and dogs like to watch "Stupid Human Tricks" on YouTube.
