The King is Dead. Long Live the King!
I blew up my monitor today.
I think I hosed the tube on my 21" Viewsonic Pt813, because, when I turn it on, I hear a staticky buzz just when it should be turning the tube on and the little light goes red. Since it's 7 years old, I'm thinking it's pretty much the tube, and that even asking anyone to even look at it is gonna cost me more than a replacement.
So I replace it. With a ViewSonic VP201s . I was gonna go cheap, but I stare at this thing like 18 hours a day. It's gotta be good. Good news is, Viewsonic is still the king. Yeah, they've got the Q line of Optiquest crap, and the A and E tubes outnumber the G units they sell, but their P line is still apparently a crowd-pleaser.
Yes, the games still rock. But bright! The thing's a frickin' beacon!
