...is happening this week. My guesses are that it'll occur either tonight or Wednesday. I'm kind of excited.
The main purpose of the second monitor is to have more space for working on digital art. Therefore, I can run Photoshop or Sai on one monitor and have the other to do things like IM or be in Chat or watch a movie. My main concern through this whole ordeal is trying to get my monitors to match in colors, and the best I can come down to is making sure the screens have the same "finish", as it were. My laptop has a "glossy" screen, not a matte one, which is also known as anti-glare. Anti-glare sucks for colors, since it dulls them down.
Least, that's what I figured.
And doing more research says that the "contrast ratio" advertised on monitors really doesn't matter, since it's a thing that doesn't have an industry standard. Blargh. Why is this stuff so damn complicated.
I'm also fairly confident I'll be naming the monitor Dist, since my laptop is Piers. [MAJOR INSIDE JOKE FTW]
