Now I've seen to Sonny's burning.

I may have foolishly muttered something about having nearly finished gadgeting up. There is a computer store in Walthamstow that has IBM 18" flat panels (1280×1024, equivalent to a 21" CRT) with two DVI inputs (and a VGA adapter cable) for £85. I forget the name, but it's on Hoe Street just down from the corner with Forest Road (just near the Bell). d_floorlandmine just swung by there in the Minebringer and got two for himself, one for wechsler and one for me.

They're ex-J.P. Morgan. Mine's a bit beat-up (there's light patches on the screen, probably from someone picking it up with their fingers on it), but will do just fine for my desktop. If you could do with a flat panel, they're well worth a spin. All I need now is a video card that will do 1280×1024 ... it's currently displaying to a 1024×768 bit in the middle of the screen!

So my 21" Sun monitor is now looking for a good home. First to come and get it, it's yours. It weighs 35kg, so you're going to need a car or cab.

We are now a CRT-free household, on our computers at least. Liz is looking to get a TV adapter for her laptop, so we might free ourselves of that one too ...

Update: The Sun 21" CRT does have the VGA adapter as well as the 13W3 Sun connector, so will fit any PC, any Sun and most Macs!
