BenQ 951 LCD monitor

I am in the process of assembling a completely new PC for a friend of mine and I just received the best part: a new BenQ 951 19″ LCD monitor. At 1280×1024 resolution it has a 700:1 contrast ratio and appears brighter than my laptop display. Digital photos, text, and web pages look great on it. I haven’t tried yet, but I’ll bet image editing works well too.

The only thing I know it won’t do well is play games, thanks to a slow 20ms response time. However, if you don’t play games this could well be the best 19″ display on the market today. And at only $419.00 its a steal. Go out and get one today… I know I would if I needed one.

A Photo Experiment

It’s a P-51 fighter converted to racing form at the Reno Air Races.

If it works as it should, there should be a thumbnail image and the ability to see the full thing. Hopefully you will see it as well.

Air Race Goodness

I spent Saturday at the Reno Air Races and it was pretty darn cool. Seeing 5 to 10 airplanes racing head to head at over 200 mph just 300 feet off the ground is pretty hard to describe. It is just flat out amazing.

Most of the pictures I took don’t convey the sense of speed nor distance between the racers, but this is one of the best of the bunch that try: biplanes racing.
