RE: [DUG]: Tip for sore eyes

I got some points from TechPac website if you try to convince your manager to make a decision.   Big space savings freeing up valuable desk space Up to 66% saving on electricity running costs Less heat generation saves on air conditioning costs Zero Flicker reduces eyestrain   They said TCO is less than CRT in the long run.   Cheers Leigh   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 10:33 AM To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: RE: [DUG]: Tip for sore eyes Yes I'm concerned about EMR also. I found a product which was tested by a lab, and the lab concluded it gave total protection from EMR for the wearer (I can explain the test if you want). So I have one in my pocket - hope it does work and the lab got it right.   EMR is everywhere - hair dryer, TV, monitor, even smoke detectors have radioactive material in them (see the yellow sticker is you don't believe me).   Dave Jollie Tower NZ IT 09 368 4259   -----Original Message----- From: Leigh Wanstead [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 13 March 2003 10:21AM To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: RE: [DUG]: Tip for sore eyes   Just think about for a normal programmer who has to sit in front of a CRT monitor which will generate radio activity for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It is not simply sore eyes issue. I got my Philips LCD 17 inch monitor at home 9 months ago and at work 4 months ago. Now I feel that I do not need to expose to these sorts of radio activity any more. I don't know how these radio activity will effect human beings. I believe less is better than more. Actually I sit in front of monitor for more than 12 hours a day, so I must look after myself and the company.(If I take sick leave, that will cost more to the company than a monitor price in some sense).   At the time I bought my monitor, a brand new LCD 17 inch monitor cost $2000+gst. Company bought same brand for $1200+GST. And now I see same brand 17inch LCD monitor cost $809+GST. Compare to Delphi professional/enterprise edition price, it would be quite reasonable to get a LCD monitor for your health. 15 inch LCD monitor is quite small anyway. Just consider as an investment to your health.   Cheers Leigh -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 12:23 PM To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Tip for sore eyes My screen has flickered at the corners quite badly for quite some time. I tried swapping to another screen on an empty desk, and it was worse! But problem solved today. My screen's refresh rate was set far too low (60 Hertz). I've increased it to 85 Hertz (my monitor can handle it) and now I have a perfectly still screen. Awesome!   So if you have a flickering / shaky screen, and haven't checked your refresh rate, it might help. Guess everyone knows this but me!   Dave Jollie Tower NZ IT 09 368 4259
