It's important news, because Indoor life may be the ONLY life for the next 2-5 years.

How many is too many though? I have been pretty happy lately with 3, both at work and home. I'm not doing any stocks trading or anything either though.

Honestly, I have had enough to do that before. Maybe I still do. They're almost all mixmaster Goodwill finds though. I'm seriously thinking about giving some away with some SFF desktops I scored for cheap if I manage to sell them all off. I need more room for storing desktops/cases that I care about, and actually working on computers in that space.

?? Oled has always used MORE power than LCDs, it's never been a power saver, you're thinking of E-Ink displays.

That's what his post reminded me of as well. There are a lot of people working very hard on new battery technology at least.

The latest 48 inch Oled is the targeted G4m3r monitor.

IMHO, oled is still not ready for Desktop 24/7, gaming use. Buhhh.. we'll see.
