Keep in mind, this is a desktop setup, not in a family room with 13' away from the screen. Same goes with the sound system. I am 2' away.

SAMSUNG 27" Class Curved 1920x1080 VGA HDMI 60hz 4ms AMD FREESYNC HD LED Monitor - LC27F396FHNXZA

It is amazing!! I can actually watch some movies as they kinda should be.

Then the bonus:

Creative Stage 2.1 Channel Under-Monitor Soundbar with Subwoofer for TV, Computers, and Ultrawide Monitors, Bluetooth/Optical Input/TV ARC/AUX-in, Remote Control and Wall Mounting Kit

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/..._AC_SX679_.jpg

The sound bar is only 21" wide. The sub fits behind the monitor, which rocks my desk!

Both were highly recommended. I much agree.

I might be late to the party, but it changed my computer viewing style.

Oh yea, monitor $125 from Walmart, sound via Amazon $80.

This coming from a dude that watched the first Batman VHS movie in '89 on a 19" CGA computer monitor with 4 other dudes in the apt bedroom in Germany:) That was cutting edge then.

When you go to the Chicago History Museum and the Amtek CGA monitor currently on your desk is displayed …

Now that I've dove them a few times in various environments and different configurations I can give these puppies 20 thumbs up... I bought this Apeks MTX-RC "DIR Hogarthian" setup from a dealer in Italy and man is it awesome. It was flawless under the ice super bowl weekend in February, and equally perfect in the warm waters in Cozumel the week after the super bowl, and I was able to get them into the side mount configuration two weeks ago in Roatan. Wow, just WOW. You buy extreme cold water regulators thinking you're going to sacrifice ease of breathing and these puppies are, hands-down, the best breathing regulators I've ever had. And they came along at the right price to boot!!!

My new Swisstech rolling 4 wheel carry on luggage has been a Godsend. Bought it at Walmart in Rockford IL a few months back while on a business trip.

Computer cooling pad that costs $12 on Amazon and has stopped my computer fan from going nuts on conference calls.

My KC Trivia Game we used at our Phoenix meetup with host master JohnnyHammersticks.

125 cigars including ones I have never smoked like the OZGENER FAMILY CIGARS BOSPHORUS B-55, Padron 1926 Series #9, Montecristo 1935 Anniversary.

Living room two door cabinet to hold my two electric humidors on top and accessories inside.

TV tray. $25 on Amazon.

New prescription eyeglasses to replace my very old ones.

I've been on a buying rampage lately..

Bought these a while back after a particularly loud concert where it was like my ears couldn't even process the music (and I've had tinnitus forever)... I've used them a few times since and they tone it down just enough without taking away from the music.

I bought prescription glasses optimized for using with my computer monitor. Not driving glasses, not reading glasses, but in between.

Yes, it sucks to have another pair of glasses but I can make the font smaller which makes it totally worth it.

Travel I took my Family, wife and 4 grown kids to Ireland and London for 2 weeks. Best thing I've purchased. I hit the sweet spot before they have families started and when I could never make it happen.
Best time ever.

My wife and I loved Ireland. We visited around 10 years ago and went back 2 years ago to visit Northern Ireland and Scotland. Glad you had a great trip!

I'm interested in this. Is it the "Kansas City - Sports Trivia Game" I see on amazon or something else?
