Since I will be working from home more, I felt it was worth upgrading my home office. The upgrade that I decided to get was a new monitor.
When I worked from home in the past, I just plopped my laptop on my desk and did my work. It worked all right for me, but I wanted some additional desk space to spread out on.
This is what my desk looked like before the new monitor. (My old 15" CRT monitor was shoved below the desk for when I had to view my network server in order to fix any of my shares or print jobs.)
After doing a lot of research, the Samsung 22" monitor was best in its class. Additionally, it was on sale at Circuit City online. Therefore, I had to get it since the sale price was in my budget.
This is the box after bringing it home.
Yup. That's 22 inches of LCD flat screen, baby! It also has a 2ms refresh rate and 3000:1 contrast. The color and clarity of the 1680x1050 native resolution it awesome!
Nice packaging. Very clean and not over done.
Everything looks to be there.
And finally. This is what it looked like after everything was set up. I'm loving it!
I broke out my old 2-port KVM switch so I can use this monitor on both my network server and my work laptop when it is on its port replicator. (Anyone want to buy a Linksys 4-port KVM switch with cables? Let me know.)
Now, I just need to clean up and do some cable management then the work space will be perfect.
