We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Difference between the LG LCD television, which is computer ready and a smaller monitor was all of $20.00... don;t have television but it was still a no brainer as we do like watching movies.

picked up a bottle of my favorite Spanish olive oil and made tomato/mozzarella salad for lunch.

still debating whether i -need- to get a 165mm FSA Gimondi crankset to replace the 175mm set i put on the 722ts (cannibalized from the '11 Jamis Sputnik fail), or if i should just cope as it is my secondary bike and watch the cornering a little more...

+1. You need to find the native resolution of your TV, go into your video card's settings and change them to that res. (Right click on Desktop > Properties > Settings (may have to hit the Advanced Button also)

Hopefully it's 1080p, as I couldn't fathom sitting that close to a 720 monitor unless it was teeny tiny like 15"

Do you have one of those fancy internet LG's ? Those things are pretty awesome - Youtube, Hulu, etc right there on the TV

Have been playing with settings... monitor has several aspect ratios and the 4:3 and 1024 x 768 video resolution gives me a crisp and clear 23 inch screen for the computer while watching DVD's runs at 16:9 and 26 inches on an HDMI capable player (automatically).

Will probably play with things more... but it is good enough that I can read things from across the room.

Oh.. well if you're hesitant at reading text at 16:9 due to blurriness, you're most likely sitting too close to your TV from the looks of the keyboard propped on the base. No offense meant if it's intentional for old eyes.

I haven't shaved my face for 15 years.

Today I went for the windiest, nastiest, 25° weather ride ever. Every second of it sucked.
