Higgins is the tentative name for my new monitor that I received today. What speedy delivery Newegg has!
I’ve busted the monitor out of its boxes and wrappings and have been using it since doing so. Basically, this is a sexy piece of hardware that I am going to take full advantage of tonight, when I finish off Leon the Professional (starring Natalie Portman when she was 11 y.o. and some badass French dude) with my fair lady.
Higgins is a 22-inch, widescreen (16:10) LCD monitor from Hanns-G. I got him on discount and after all fees and taxes were paid, the entire bundle cost me around $213 CDN. This is including shipping, and also including a separate DVI to DVI connector cable (both ends are male…) from Nippon that I also ordered from Newegg.
So far, it looks super crisp (I’m glad I got the DVI cable) and after some minor calibration, the colors are a near-perfect match with Belle’s rosy visage. I’ve moved all my Geektool meters and my iStat Pro widget onto Higgins (developer’s mode FTW). Now Bellamy feels less cluttered and cleaner while I get to keep all the sexiness of Geektool on the secondary.
Once my dad returns home, I will borrow his fancy-pants DSLR camera to snap a few shots of this mammoth monitor beside Bellamy for you all to see. I actually hadn’t realized just how much extra real-estate a 22″ extended desktop would give me, and now I know.
