TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In addition to all of the good advice you've gotten so far, pay attention to
the contrast ratio, which measures the difference between white and black.
1:400 is pretty low; 1:700 is relatively decent.
We've had a pair of 17" Samsung SyncMasters for 2 or 3 years now and are
very happy with them.
