One of these days, I'll talk you off your Sony fixation.
I sold electronics for years during college, and I've owned many Sony products.
Most of the time, you're paying too much for the name. And all of the time, you're getting yourself into a product that has expensive replacement / extension products and horrible navigation and complexity in their menu options.
Panasonic has all the quality at a much lower cost, and they generally adhere to industry standards on expansion components.
Case in point: Memory Sticks. What a ripoff. They always cost about twice what memory expansion costs in standard flash, like CF or SD.
The only thing missing from that Marvin Jones touchdown reversal is that it wasn't a first round playoff game.
Back in 1990, I bought a Panasonic RX-300 Boom Box - this was back in the day when Boom Boxes were all the rage, and they were all big pieces of shit. Panasonic built this bad-ass unit with 60W of output power, detachable speakers, and the head unit broke down into a separate amp/eq/spectrum analyzer and cassette unit.
It kicked the SHIT out of anything Sony or anyone made at the time. Mine served me for a decade as a boombox and shelf unit. Panasonic makes great stuff.

Just hooked up a new 27" monitor to my laptop. Niiiice.
My laptop has 1920x1080 resolution, and on that 17" screen fonts are tiny. I had to set Windows to enlarge fonts, and then was constantly using a zoom tool in my browser.
Now with this 27" at the same resolution, I dialed the fonts back to normal and no more constant zooming.
I can also go to dual-screen and keep my laptop monitor as well, but I don't really have the desk space to pull it off.

That's a nice one. I didn't spring for IPS or higher resolution because this resolution is the limit of my laptop's card. I think it'll serve me well for the money.

Oh, follow up on my laptop. I got the recovery discs and that did the trick. Apparently there was something with the hdd recovery partition that got corrupted, so doing it from the discs fixed it.
My 3 year old Toshiba laptop got an error "He's dead Jim" and shut down. Now it won't get past the post screen and doesn't accept key presses. I bought it on a recommendation that Toshiba was the best in quality and this thing has had an easy life, as laptops go, hooked to a keyboard, mouse and monitor for my wife to use as a desktop. I'm going to take it to a shop on Telegraph that does free diagnostics to see if there is any hope for fixing it. Not feeling too keen on that Toshiba quality right now.
