Nice stretch, Julie! I have one last monitor left from 6 years ago (not a Gateway). It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to work. I'm really impressed with how many writeoff entries you've submitted. Great job!

Best regards,
Holly

I'm handing out a standing ovation on this one. It's not easy to write a review in a new area and you came through with flying colors. Thanks so much for joining in with such enthusiasm in this write-off. I always knew you were a cut above the rest but now I know - you are a prize!

Thanks, Helen!

This was the second hardest review I've ever written. The hardest was a book review about childhood leukemia since I wrote is shortly after my nephew was diagnosed with JMML. Thankfully, they're about to announce that he's official in remission - his doctors are extremely conservative and consider remission to be when the child is cancer-free for two years. Cured is at five years.

Anyway, in retrospect, this was also sort of fun to write. I may look about and see if I have any other hardware or electronics that scream out to be that they need reviewing. I know that I own a lot but whether or not they need reviewing is another aspect entirely.

Thanks again!

A long list of specs may make a huge difference when I'm faced with purchasing a hot, new item on the market but when I'm considering the purchase of a used item, I want to know exactly what you covered.

Nice job for a first try at a monitor review. You may not have provided a long list of specs, but you talked about everything I care about.

Thanks! This was the hardest review for me to write that I've done to date. You've made me stretch my comfort level quite a bit - thanks for inviting me to partner with you in this category!

that's really weird that it only lets you adjust the contrast. I guess it's been a while since I've thought about a monitor so old that it doesn't have onscreen menus and the ability to tweak more things than you could possibly ever want to tweak.
