Shiny New Samsung 24" Monitor

OK, it's a lousy photo - but it's a great monitor. Firstly, Dabs did a great job of delivering this yesterday when I only put the order in the evening before (and didn't select "super-next-day-delivery-please" option).
 
My previous monitor set-up has been 3x19" monitors (1280x1024) using the ATI X1300 and X1800 GFX cards on my machine. The multiple monitors thing works very well for separating activities: so email/comms on one, work on two, internet/reading on three - but it means that there's not that much space per monitor. This new beast runs at 1900x1200 and is fabulously clear, no dead pixels - lots more space for Visual Studio. The X1800 card is coping with the resolution too.
 
Now, the first thing I thought was: "Hmm, there's room for two of those bad boys on there..."
