Just one port then....hard to find them with two. My old Dell has a couple, HDMI and DVI. It gets a little hot running two 24's lol. My next one will a couple for sure.

That's good, you can run 2 then. I'm use to running two monitors at the house....I really likes those monitors. So that's a feature I'd look for.

I'm so used to my 15 inch screen that this 17 looks huge, LOL.

I need to start looking for a new TV to replace my 40 inch Samsung. It's giving me fits connecting to WiFi. I put a new access point about 15 feet from it, and it's still pissing me off.

It's about 8 years old, and it's only a 720P. Might throw it in the garage... and run ethernet cable to it.

I've used 2 high res 24's for a long time. They're perfect for me, really like them....can't do without now lol.

I had the same problem with the old 55" WiFi. Very frustrating at one time. Took care of that problem with a 80 dollar Roko device. It's been very fast since. It's quicker than the newer TV in the living room now. All my stuff is hardlined...except for the printer.

It didn't start until a few days after I upgraded my AP's and the Controller firmware. Not sure if that's just a coincidence, or what. My 55 is an older TV, and it still works. Both Samsung's.

Yea there was no updating or up grading for mine. Vizio no longer supported, yea, it was a Vizio thing. It was either replace the TV or connect through another device. I tried a Roku media player with it and that fixed the connection problems.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if my Cisco POE switch needs rebooted. That thing doesn't get rebooted unless the power goes out. I'll try that tonight.

Hey, Whitey. Nice score on the laptop for sure! I saw your exhaust comparo last night. Honestly, I don't know which one I like better. They both sound mean!

I get notifications on our NextDoor app and sometimes try to help out. Some people, though, you just can't.



Then there's this guy on FB with a smokin' deal on a classic car. (I think I'm with the people who posted the "laughing" emoji.)



And finally, false advertising, maybe? More like "Next-To-Nothing" bagels.



Have a great week everyone!
