Monitoring the Situation
Oct. 5th, 2023 05:19 pmI seem to be collecting refurbished monitors.
A couple of months ago, I decided to see if some higher resolution refurb monitors that I found would improve my recent problems with eyestrain. They were nice enough, but didn't solve the eyestrain problem.
Earlier this week, I found a pair of refurbished 16x10 Dell monitors of the kind that I like with HDMI connectors (which my older Dell's didn't have and which are required for the new KVM switch), but instead of desk stands, they came with desk mounts to clamp to the back of the desk, which meant that I could, in theory, position them a bit further away, which should help with the whole eyestrain problem.
They came today. I have now hauled them upstairs and installed them, which was a bit of an adventure until I figured everything out. But they are now where they belong (more or less) and working with both of the computers.
We'll see how the whole eyestrain thing goes.
