Just managed to get a free monitor from work that was being scrapped, trouble is I am struggling to find somewhere to put it  

[Bandit127]

I got an Optiplex 745 the same way a few weeks ago.  

I think just the fans in my now swapped out XPS used more juice than the whole new (old) PC. It's saving me Watts, pounds and Carbons...

The only place I can think to put it is the garage.....perhaps with a TV tuner

If its a small LCD, you could always donate to our server

Its a Cough 50 inch plasma Cough

break me.

next time, something smaller - a 15 or 17 would be ideal!

I couldn't bare to see it scrapped....and it works perfectly.

I remember it being bought at a cost of 22K!

If it had a tuner, I'd borrow for a couple of weeks, as Samsung are having a bit of trouble with my telly, and the loan set is only 32".  Plus it has a real gay bluey/greeny/turquoise LED strip at bottom

You just use a freeview box with it as it has composite, VGA RGB etc inputs.

Is the LED strip not a mood light that can be turned off?

I did think that, and there was a mood setting in Picture settings, but I turned that off, and still have gaybar on.

I've sort of ignored it, as mine should have been fixed by now, but there is some issue thats taking longer and everyone seems to be unwilling to say what.  All I can find out is its the panel thats failed. Again.

talk about right place right time!

Or shove a Media Center up its jacksie!

if this plasma can be connected to a PC add a TV card and you can also watch TV at the same time when you are using the net..

Media Center (MCE or VMC) much easier. Plus, you can use it without tuners by installing a free add-on that collates all the iPlayer/Catch-up reruns from the internet.  Not sure these can be downloaded outside of UK though.

[Marks DTM Calib]

No, BBC iplayer is shite for that as it wont let me download any at work because the gateway is in Sweden!
