Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM)

I just watched Food, Inc. on Netflix the other night. I kind of wanted to check it out, and I figured it?d be a chance to use my refurbished 27? LCD Monitor with HDMI.

Well, that kinda backfired.

No, the picture came in great. This thing?s Hi-Def with 1920�1080p resolution. The color?s amazing, the 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio makes the blacks of soon-to-be slaughtered cows blacker, the whites of abused and chemically-altered chickens whiter, and really just colors in general are amazing.

And the 5 ms gray-to-gray response time reduced blur on all the ammonia-laced hamburger meat rolling down conveyor lines. I made the mistake of detaching the base and mounting this thing over my bed, so I had no escape from the E. coli-riddled beef parading across the screen. Pretty horrific, man. I?m going vegan for sure.

Huh? Oh, not bad, actually. I gave it three stars.
