I got all the COD4 Acemod done and was starting on the DM WaW maps when I had to reboot and when it loaded back up the monitor went to the big electronic retirement home in the junkyard. I didn't know exactly what is was at first as the power and fans all came on and no noises could be heard. I noticed there was a faint flickering from the monitor but it wouldn't show anything. I have several old parts here so I begin testing each one of the things in my pc to see what I could narrow the problem down too. I even replaced the old hard drive and nothing. I have an old antic monitor like one of the first generation flat screens so I had to search for the adapter for it and now I am posting this on it. I get paid on Jan 3rd so I can't buy anything till then. I will try to play but if I can't I just wanted you to know why! I also would appreciate any help with suggestions for a new more modern monitor and please keep in mind I have a monetary consideration to keep in mind. Hope to see you in the servers! Awards

No advanced warning or anything. As far as monitors go, I personally just needed one with a bunch of USB ports on it and two HDMI inputs (one for my laptop and one for my workstation). Depending on your funding, it's sort of like buying a TV. But the good news they have come down in a price a LOT since you last got one. Best Buy has the Dell 24" UltraSharp monitor on sale for $296. That's an awesome monitor. In any case you can probably find a 1080p 24" LED monitor for $200. BigPapaDean 1 Awards
