Entirely new levels of radness

That's what my monitor has shown me. Levels of radness that I had no idea were even possible. Untapped potential radness. Radness that, until now, had been unreachable. Well, I've seen the mountain-top, folks. And it is rad.

First off, no dead pixels. Or at least, no dead pixels that I can see. And on a screen with over 2.3 million pixels, I'm not sure I would even notice if one or two were dead.

The first thing I did with it, believe it or not, was surf the web. And guess what: it's too big to surf the web in fullscreen, I've gotta go windowed. Not that that's a bad thing. Hell, I could have two browser windows open side by side with no overlap. That's some hot shit.

Then I popped in some Oblivion and rocked it 1080i style for a bit. Gaming in widescreen is totally not disappointing, I must say. Especially when I can play from across the room with my wireless controller.

I followed that up with a DVD of Forbidden Planet, which I'd never seen. Good flick, and surprisingly well done special effects, especially for 1956. Plus, Leslie Nielson in the type of dramatic part that he used to do all the time until Airplane! and Robby the Robot in his very first role. Robby had the funniest line I've ever heard a robot deliver: "Sorry miss, I was giving myself an oil-job."

I've since played my other X360 games, which all look great, and a handful of other DVDs (movies, TV, porn). This monitor gets two big thumbs up from me. Best thousand bucks I ever spent.
