MonitorsMonitor Woes, More of this Red Line MadnessSubmitted by C.S. Magor on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 16:35.No sooner than I fixed my problem with a new cable and it happened again. This time, however, I got to the source of the issue; faulty capacitor in the power adapter; a relatively simple issue. So, send back the adaptor and get a replacement, simple. Here's the problem. I write for three different blogs, if you count my own and I do a ton of medical editing. Best case scenario, I send the adaptor back and I am down a week. Worst case scenario I am down two weeks. That is an enormous amount of productivity to lose over a simple adaptor. I don't have a spare monitor, nor do I have a laptop with the software set that I need. Weighing up all of the options I decided to do something a little drastic. I am upgrading to a sweet 22-inch LG with a 2 m/s response time. The price is about $360, but I would lose a lot more than that in the downtime so it is kinda worth it. Once I have the new monitor, I will get to work replacing the faulty adaptor and finally have the dual display setup that I have long wanted. TopicsGaming
