My old Samsung 17 inch monitor was getting a little long in the tooth so I picked this up at Target this morning.
Got 30 days to return it, but so far I like it. 24inch 1900x1080
Also thinking about getting a Spider4 to calibrate it.

VIZIO 24" Class 1080p 60Hz E-Series Razor LED? S... : Target

I am pleasntly surprised by my Visio TV that I have had for around 6 years, picture still looks good. They make a very nice product, never seen one of their monitors so report back on your thoughts.

It's not a computer monitor Kevin. It's a 24 inch HDTV I'm using as a monitor. Same specs as a 1900x1080 60HZ computer monitor.
Looks fantastic as it is now, but I'm still going to calibrate it at a later time. Check out the link in my original post.

And here I would have thought you'd be out buying you another 11-16mm lens buddy! ;)

Right, should have said never thought about using one as a monitor . I noticed some of the various connections on the tv's, just never thought about using one. What type of connection method did you go with.

An update on my Crashplan purchase.

I don't have a great ADSL connection here, so the first Crashplan sync took about a week - during that time our Internet slowed to a crawl. Crashplan does have a sleep mode, so I was able to use that mode when a faster Internet was needed.

The system seems straight forward, although some understanding of the computer files & folders is useful, it is not essential as Crashplan auto selects the current User profile. One slight thing is that it includes the hidden Application Data directory & therefore the browser cache. There is no way within the Application Folder to select or deselect subfolders as there is with regular folders, so I am maintaining backups of a number of temporary folders without much purpose. There is an option for filename exclusions, so I may look at that.
