Alright right now im on my mothers laptop because my computers moniter literally just died on me
So i know there are some tech savvy people on here and i could really use your help on some moniter ideas. Im trying to get one atleast the same moniter size as my old one and the screen size was 19inches and the resoultion i need/would like is 1600x1200. Im also not much of a fan of widescreens.
So any ideas? I would greatly appriciate it.

So heres the video of my moniters last minute of living
It will be missed tongue.gif



So overall i can be pretty good with the computer, so this mechanical hiccup set an alarm that i should probably grab my dad. Also the other voice thats talking is my sister (missuchiha)

My reaction near the end is pretty priceless i would say.

Black Friday = super cheap electronics from a lot of computer stores.

Widescreen > normal, imo. If you hate the stretch, change the damn resolution.
