Dear Diary,
I love innovation! Yesterday, my new LG 29″ LED WFHD 21:9 computer monitor arrived via UPS.com from BestBuy.com. It was discounted as an Open-Box item. The tall guy delivered it at night. He looked over his left shoulder after I said aloud, My toy is here!
I was thinking this was safer since we might not have been home. But we were home for the most after picking up Mom’s new three pairs of OLD eyeglasses for the price of one new pair. I waited the whole day for my new toy! My stuff are toys, by the way.
Anyway, I’m multi-tasking. And I have downloaded the OnScreen Control menu. I love it! Besides the Full Screen (or Mirror Display), there are three ways to spilt the screen! The 2-Screen Split has three choices. The 3-Screen Split has four choices. And the 4-Screen Split has only one choice, which I’m using! OMG!
Currently, I’m blogging on my new WFHD monitor while using my buttery-smooth, and lighting-fast MacBook Air. I was suffering for awhile with the SMALL screen and had a difficult time adjusting between my far-away prescription and my closer bi-focals, which I’m using well! OMG!
The monitor is currently sitting atop the box to my refurbished Nook GlowLight. I love buying refurbished and open-box items. They are still good and I’ve only wanted good products at reduced prices.
The box is sitting atop my bamboo riser topper, also from Amazon.com Underneath is the space for my Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse. My bamboo riser has a nice horizontal slot for the Nook GlowLight.
Now I can read eBooks while blogging on WordPress. I need to pick-up the pace on my readings. I can read fast but because I’m being held hostage, err, being spiritually assigned to give HARSH care to my elderly parents, I can’t keep up.
Yesterday, I received a courtesy email from Amazon.com to return my Kindle Oasis E-Reader, which was truly light-weight. But I liked the Nook Glowlight because of its ‘balanced’ look, whitish bezel border for holding evenly in both hands while walking clockwise around the house, and for the various selections of eBooks and stuff.
So I forced, yes, I do get impatient and FORCE my parents to hurry up and join me. But Mom stayed home with her painful left wrist for one week. Dad and I went to the UPS store to have my product stuffed in a 6x6x6 box and sealed tight.
But I think they failed to scan my return label. I alerted Amazon.com via a generic ‘Feedback’ but NOT rather discreetly as I referenced the store number and receipt timedate stamp. Evil Kitty wasn’t happy.
So the new monitor is better set to the Aspect Ratio of Original and NOT Wide Screen, which looks wrong and blurry. Maybe I can put vertical stickers on either side of the blank spaces to the display. Sheesh.
My production will be done on the wide screen and the control panel stuff will be done on the Macbook Air. There is no sound on this stupid monitor and I will figure out if it is supposed to work at all. The dimming (sunset to sunrise) doesn’t seem to work on either the built-in display and this widescreen monitor. That’s another thing to figure out.
Now I have six views – the Double-Finger side swiping on the Magic Mouse and/or the toggle (Commmand + Tab) between the 1. full view of the WordPress app and the 4-Split screen on the LG monitor, and the 6. Built-In display of the MacBook Air. I’m ready to die now, err, sleep now! Praise the Lawd Gawd for new stuff! Amen!
Sincerly,
FLYNN B.
