...maybe just lightly bruised.
Background: I've been playing around with 'digital living room' technology and have recently converted the stereo system from the old receiver/cassette drive/200 CD jukebox to an Zen/5.1 surround sound setup that takes up no more room on the shelf than a pack of cigarettes and a paperback book. Soooo, feeling the familiar tingle of the tech-bug bite, I started eye-ing the 19" TV on the corner of the dresser ...yep, kind of clunky. No doubt about it, an LCD TV would look much better there.
But a dedicated LCD TV seems so... so... well, pedestrian. How about an LCD monitor? Yeah, but I don't want a server wheezing away in the corner of the bedroom. So, I go to the search engines and dig around and came up with this gizmo (http://www.viewsonic.com.au/products/advancedtv/nextvision_n6.php). Thanks to FedEx magic, it arrived within 30 hours or so of the bug-bite, so I was still in moderately stable condition. I scanned the quick setup and plugged it into a 17" LCD monitor. Works great!
