the 1920x1080 resolution beats the pants off any 1366x768 720p set! (I sell those TVs for a living and hook my laptop up to them via mini-DVI to DVI-to-HDMI often.)
Got a tip for us?

since you "don't go cheap" have you ever looked into a yamaha receiver. you pay 3x a sony but get 15x the experience. (I am a surround sound specialist and installer by trade, and that's how i recognized your receiver in the first place)

well, I do have my limits. Besides, as a musician, i listen to alot of classical music, and the most important piece of equipment is the speakers, so thats what I focus my money on. big expensive and loud surround systems often have pathetic performance at playing music, but since most people listen to garbage for music and confuse loudness with good quality...
I'm not saying this sony receiver is god, but there is no way any other system will do any better at music, regardless of how nice they are at everything else. the only thing that would reproduce music better is a tube setup, and there is no way I can afford one of those.

Yeah, it's speedier, but unless I start editing video, it's a small bump, but it Intel-proofs me for a few years.
Thanks.

I presume you have to send the other one back?
The thing i am really jealous of is the screen, more envious than jealous really - they just cost so so much. Worth the money? is the viewing angle ok?

Yeah, just erased and installed the old one and I'll leave it in the box by the fireplace for a few days to make sure this one is OK - and it seems to be.
I couldn't imagine working on things on a smaller screen - not saying it to be snobby - just feel that way. It's a great monitor - great for productivity.

No, not snobby - i thought the 24 was to small and didnt really like dual monitors.
I will get one over the coming months. Its just a wee bit to much for me at the moment ( its nearly 2 grand here )
a slight alteration to my setup = more tidy and looking straight ahead instead of to the side (watch DVD's in bed woohoo!).
revision + rubbish chair = suxorz.

Ok, I thought it was a little strange.
Looking at it again it looks like a Special Edition Oreo iPod. I could see it now.
Mr. Jobs you sure make good 'Pods.
