This is a 24 inch flat screen monitor from Gateway (Model FPD22485W). It's freaking HUGE! The really cool thing is that it pivots 90 degrees, which makes viewing and designing web pages an absolute pleasure. I can view virtually an entire page, or open up large windows with multiple web pages at the same time. I saw similar monitors when I visited Point2 and I just had to have one.

Resolution is 1920 x 1200 (or more correctly 1200 x 1920 when pivoted, which it is 98% of the time).

Somehow it magically knows whether it's in "portrait" or "landscape" mode and adjusts the display accordingly. It also has about a bazillion ports for plugging in all sorts of video stuff. You can set it up to display a video source (say your television) in a PIP (Picture in Picture) as well as other video-ish stuff I'm not familiar with (yet).

The display is crisp and bright, and with some minor tweaking to color settings, the colors are outstanding. 

My lovely bride just shakes her head in disbelief when I express love and deep admiration for my new monitor.

But I know that some of you out there understand completely.

This thing is just wicked cool….
