Just a case of an office chair and a laptop screen. I wouldn't want to read too much like that.
Right now, I have a Sony E400 multiscan in front of me. It messes up a pretty room and now, if I'm wise, I need a mate to help me lift it. But for reading text, it's a winner due to being able to select the res I want.
(it was in storage, and will be scrapped when I get one of my flat screens here. - I used to sell these Sonys at £2,600 + VAT! What's more, it helps to keep the room warm.
)
The point being, I can't even use my big Sanyo in Tx because it's just not 'right'. An LG with 1440 and a 75 refresh is about as good as I've seen, and the 23" Sanyo has stood gathering dust ever since I picked up the smaller one for $100.
We've discussed the refresh rate before, and I'll admit, flicker is something I'm very, very susceptible to. 75hz is fine.
The 50" telly in TX is not bad with Word showing via an HDMI lead. But still, it doesn't go to its maximum res from my DVD. I don't think my pals would see any problems with it.
It does sound as though .jpg might be the only answer for the first chapter - just to see if they get hooked.
