Okay, after this I’ll hopefully shut up about the screen, because it arrived this morning (yay for ParcelForce delivering before 10am). It works fine, although I found that you really do have to follow the instructions by turning the computer off first, then turning the monitor on and then the computer on to get it to work – you can’t just plug it in and expect it to work. RTFM, as they say.
Having a 1280×1024 resolution is so much better than 1024×768 – the machines at the university use it, as does my parents machine at home – but I’ve had to put up with the latter as my laptop screen doesn’t support it (but then it is only 14”). The screen arrived with no dead pixels, which is good.
Oh, and it works with my PDA, as well 🙂 .
Update: Since I got a rather large birthday money cheque this morning, I’ve also treated myself to a Belkin wireless keyboard and optical mouse, thus meaning I finally have the luxury of a full-size keyboard. It’s USB and both PC and Mac compatible, which will be handy when I order the Mac Mini in a few weeks time.
My one problem now is a lack of desk space…
