subject is acting very strange: it's stuck on asdfasdf and i can't change it


my question:

what is a good wide screen monitor to use with live (not too expensive)
I've only ever used 14 inch B4


EDIT: i can't even change it at the edit stage! :<

1280 x 1024 seems to be the max resolution for 19 inch monitors, i'd like 1600 wide!

my laptop has 1920 x 1200 (precision M60) ... runs Live very well, enough room for Reaktor etc along one side of the screen.

Whats stranger is: how did asdfasdf get there in the first place? (Other than it being a nervous drumming of the left hand - check your qwerty)

attack/sustain/decay/fuck off??

and why are there 78,000 Google hits for it?

and is it obvious I've got nothing better to do???

Thats the strangest thing. When I just need to hit some random keys in order to fill in a web form (or something) I always strike out with my left hand and hit "asdfasdf"!

I have too much time too.

thanks!

although I still can't find a serperate monitor that is suitable and < £400

i dont know about the U.K. but in the US Dell has the 2005FPW DVI 20" Widescreen with a resolution of 1680x1050(!!!)for $525 USD. (£285) And everyone i know that owns one says they are as good as the Apple displays. very sharp.

hopefully you can find that model in the U.K.

me too, about 2 months ago. i paid $400 for the not-widescreen version, same res. take a look at the specs of each. the one i almost bought was a 500 or 600:1 contrast ratio; the one i actually got is 800:1.

check dealnews &/or dealmac daily and you'll find some incredible, er, deals.

that's great thanks!

the 20.1 inch is about £400 here, perfect!
