I don't want any moire

This new monitor kinda...eats it. I had to replace my old one because after something like 4 years of being carried to people's houses, moved from room to dorm room to room to another dorm room, car trip after car trip, it just gave out. The Sony Multiscan 200sf was a fucking tank of a monitor, with huge versatility, no color quirks. 1280x1024 at 75hz without a complaint.

I was so spoiled by it that this new monitor (NEC FE990) seems like a huge step down. It's got all these moire problems that I can't get rid of, and the whites turn to dirty-laundry white when white is the prevailing color on the screen, and because it's 19", 1280x1024 looks too big for my taste. 1600x1200 just looks assy too. In addition to this, when lots of black is next to a lighter color, the lighter bleeds. damn unacceptable.

This sucks because if I don't learn to adapt, then I'm going to have to RMA this, ship it back to the fucking west on my dime, only to put my faith in another screen. Damn.

Look how narrative my entries are getting. Here's more:
I climbed again tonight, the third night in a row, and i can barely lift my arms anymore. My hands feel raw and abused, my groin is singing, and my right foot is pissed about being stuffed into a smaller space than my left foot (i think they're two different sizes). Progress is progress though, and I'll be stronger tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is a day of rest though. Must heal.

how about some pictures then, eh?

It actually looks kinda badass. Damn shame

Bacon whistle. ?

A friend of mine made the flame pillow. It seriously makes sleep 31.24% deeper. I love it.

This is who makes these posts.

This is who lives with him.

This is how he gets into the room.
