Well the one in Birmingham never arrived - place wouldn't answer any emails or phone calls so I requested a Paypal refund. They issued a refund straight away, by which time I'd found one on Aliexpress (a bit cheaper, too, at £30ish) so I ordered that. A week later the Birmingham place emailed me and said they now had it in stock if I wanted to reorder it. I ignored the bastards. The one from aliexpress was marked as dispatched within a couple of days and I even got a tracking number! Then the merciless Chinapost took over and it's spend the last 6 weeks bouncing between the airport, customs, security and the seller - back and forth, back and forth... Contacted seller and they gave me a refund. So I had an other search on google, this time I found a place in Belgium that reckoned they had it in stock ready to sell - so I broke out Goolge Translate and attempted to order. The site was weird and kept stopping responding randomly, but I persevered and managed to get it to accept my order on Wednesday. It just turned up in the post, and for the grand total price (including postage) of 12 euros! Just have to fit the fucker now, but if anyone needs spare laptop parts I can heartily recommend http://www.shscomputer.be/ . ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

And it's now fitted and works perfectly! I'd forgotten how nice Full HD on a 15 inch screen is. Looking at my 22" 1680 x 1050 monitor I've been using instead hurts my eyes now. Especially black text on white background, it's horrendous.

Dunno if I could go back to 15" (NJ). MrsD. 'inherited' my 17" aperture-grill CRT, still beautifully sharp and colorful after ~12-years, which she drives at 1024x768 (I ran it at 1280x960). Roland Skollani was sick of Pittsburgh. This city was the dead-end of his failed dreams and even dope didn’t help his choking fits no more. It had been a mistake to leave Hollywood and to follow Rita. Maybe it was a twist of fate, that there were only a few days left to leave his ex-wife’s house. Now he MUST act. Rita had a new lover and he didn’t mind, but why of all people did she choose this greedy, corrupt cop Lennon?

Yeah my eyes are a bit confused at the moment. Having spent the last few months using an external monitor that's physically bigger but with lower resolution. Hurts to look at big screen now because the fidelity is so low (vertical parts of black text often look red/orange because PIXELS). Hurts to look at the small screen because although it's absolutely pin sharp, everything's bloody tiny! ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

I have DPI scaling turned on to make text readable on the wee screen. Would be nice if Windows handled it better and scaled all apps, rather than relying on apps to recognise that there's scaling and adapt to it. I'm sure it'll get better with time, though, especially with all the SYNERGIES of MULTI PLATFORM.

Not it's open to normal users, but Android handles this very well. I've changed the LCD density settings on my last few phones. Default settings on my Nexus 5 make it feel like a Fisher Price phone. Changing the density value massively improves things. A

When it's supported in applications it works well on Windows, but in order not to break legacy stuff it's presented as an option rather than a requirement to support it. Newer stuff pretty much handles it by default. When it does break an app you can disable DPI scaling on a per-application basis in the compatibility settings - that's a much more preferable solution compared to the early days of Android where you just got told it no longer supported your device because your new phone had a different resolution screen. ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Yeah I hate that multi-color font-smoothing shit. Unfortunately the alternative is usually worse. Roland Skollani was sick of Pittsburgh. This city was the dead-end of his failed dreams and even dope didn’t help his choking fits no more. It had been a mistake to leave Hollywood and to follow Rita. Maybe it was a twist of fate, that there were only a few days left to leave his ex-wife’s house. Now he MUST act.

... and the one from China which the tracking number said never got past security, and has since been refunded, has just turned up!

Given the original cable started to fail after barely 12 months I think I'll just keep hold if this one.

:) :-O~~~ Re-reading this thread reminded me I'd forgotten to post about the Mr. High Tech licenses. After their website disappearing mysteriously for a while, it came back and I rang their office in Ireland. I was told that they'd stopped selling Office 2013 Home and Business edition and had only the Office 2013 Professional licenses. I said that was ok and (cheekily mentioned) I'll take the Pro licenses over the H&B ones on our original order. They thought that was fine and after a bit of email to and froing after nothing happened we got replacement Pro licenses. We now need another 6 licenses, and they're again offering H&B on their website. I'm in two minds about using them again and may just go to Microsoft directly to get 'em this time. The extra cost is worth not having to bugger about any. Drawings n' that

Just had a wee look at the cable from China and there's 10 pins at one end that aren't actually connected to anything. On the original and the Belgian replacement they are connected, so presumably they're required. I'll keep this on the shelf just in case, but I don't hold out much hope of it actually working.
