Title: The most annoying thing.....
Post by: Falcon on July 21, 2004, 04:23:48 pm: Is adjusting your monitor screen position. No matter how hard you try to adjust you monitor it never seems to come out right! I mean I think I've spent the last hour :doubt: working on the thing. Pincushion,Pin Balance, Trapezoid/Parallel its so annoying.

Post by: Stryke 9 on July 21, 2004, 10:38:50 pm: Jesus, you're obsessive-compulsive.

Tell you what- I'll trade you. You can have my ****ty broken-down monitor that changes its brightness every ten minutes, streaks all the **** over the place, is about as dark as the inside of Satan's asshole that does at best 1024x768, and I'll take your monitor that's like three pixels off from being perfectly square. Will that make you happy?

No?

Then quit whining about crappy monitors in my presence.

Post by: Darkage on July 22, 2004, 12:46:50 am: Prety easy to configure monitors once you get the hang of it. Just play with your monitor controls. and if you arent happy reset it to it's default settings. And then try again.

Thats only true if you get too far from the native resolution. If you get a monitor with a low response time, you're golden. :)
