Is using a HDTV as a computer monitor a good idea?

Been running a TV for the past few years as my monitor.... Started with a 32" Westinghouse 720, but that resolution was painful after the initial "Wow its a big screen" wore off. Moved to a 40" 1080P Westy, but felt I needed more, So now I'm on a Panasonic 50" 1080P Plasma. Glad I...

HOT FROM DELL: 5 CENT SCREW!!!

<< will you ever stop talking about getting something for nothing? if you want the speakers that bad, go to BestBuy and buy them or is that out of your price range for a ~$300 set of speakers. >> Read the speaker thread.....I received the ADA885's yesterday. Free, no shipping, no charge...

HOT FROM DELL: 5 CENT SCREW!!!

It would have been a much bigger write off had they shipped 7100 sets of ADA885's in place of their ADA880 mistake (including free shipping on that 30 some pound box). Its a flaw in their online business model, just like Stackable coupons, coupons meant for a limited distribution and all the...

HOT FROM DELL: 5 CENT SCREW!!!

So the amount of stockholders justifies if you can do it or not??? What is the break point for that then, 10, 100, 10,000???? Its OK to do that to a sole proprieter, but not a large corporation with many stockholders??? Pricing speakers at $22.83, then shipping $259 ones for free in its place...

HOT FROM DELL: 5 CENT SCREW!!!

They can't charge you more than what the sale was offered and accepted at. It would be an easy dispute with the CC, but alas, don't worry, they do ship them and don't even bother charging the card. BTW, do you really believe it costs them $8 to ship a nominal weight screw and 4oz of...

Hot: Altec Lansing ADA880 Speakers -- $23.47 shipped!

Cancelled here too. I wonder how much Dell pays UPS to ship stuff........ If I ordered 50 refurbished screws ($0.47 w/tax) (or screw covers at $0.04 Dell Part# 9540E) on 50 separate orders through small business with the current free shipping offer, I wonder how much that would cost them...

Abit KR7A - Raid in stock at NewEgg!!!

Watch SMK. They said they had it in stock last week when I called before and after I placed an order. Turns out they are getting them in when I called 2 days later and might ship within the next 5 days. Beware of SMK/Allstar, they even charged the card without having them in stock.

Palm IIIxe drops to $147.88 tomorrow ($159.88 today). That's what the store manager told me today when he was looking up price drops. Picked up a DSC S30 cam in the sealed box too. Also, he said no price drops were in the system for the Sony Camera through the 31st. You never know though.

They jacked the price from $79.88 to $89.88 in the last two days......Somebody tell them that's the wrong way to mark down. Maybe they're just trying to make up for that 20 off 20 coupon loss.
