Monitor to connect to MBP 2010? HELP PLEASE!

I have a 15' MBP 2010. I use it for work all day. It's becoming annoying because it's too small for me and I need a larger monitor to connect to it. Preferably a 24inch monitor.
So I purchased a 24inch monitor from Amazon.ca, but the monitor doesn't display text all the well. It's not super crisp and doesn't go very bright. Here's the one I bought: http://www.amazon.ca/Viewsonic-VX245...bs_677246011_4 (I have played around with it and still can't get the text to become crisp, images are fine, just the text *****)
So I'm going to return that one and get another 24inch from Amazon.ca (has to be from Amazon.ca since I have a gift card for them). I would like to keep the price around $200-$250 or so.
What 24inch LED monitor do you guys suggest I get from Amazon.ca to hook up to my MBP?
Some other important questions on my mind:
- Is it best to connect by mini display port to HDMI or mini display port to DVI?
- What brand is best?
- Should I go with a IPS panel?
What I need:
- ability to make the screen very bright, so easy on eyes during day light
- crisp text, easy to read for my work all day
Here are the best selling monitors on Amazon:

Here are the monitors I've been looking at:
- http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-VX24...s_1292115011_1
- http://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-VH238H-23-...bs_677246011_2
- http://www.amazon.ca/Inch-Class-Pane...1873807&sr=1-2
I really apppreciate your help in advance

Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
Or try Cerbu's post here.
Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
Please let us know which approach works for you...

HP MediaSmart Connect x280n AC Adapter HELP PLEASE!

HP MediaSmart Connect x280n AC Adapter HELP PLEASE!
Please someone tell me where I can get an AC for this unit and if not, please tell me the part number of this AC Adapter if you own one of these please? I have iterally looked for over 15 hours the past 2 days and called HP only to be passed on from department to department with not one clue as to this part number or where I can obtain an adapter for my unit. I found only 2 on ebay that had visible markings on the AC in the pics but could make out neither of their text.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you ever get an answer to this question?
I'm about to be in the same situation, and have been trawling the web to try to find a specification for the power supply.
I can see that the unit requires 19V at 22W, but that's all.
I don't know the size of the DC connector that is required.
Thanks!

with everyone downloading the update, the servers are probably bogged down with requests, probably just wait it out and it will start to download and get you back up and runnin

I can't create mi Apple ID and can't connect into iTunes Store HELP PLEASE NEW USER

Hi, im new with this. I just got a new MacBook Pro 13" with IOs X Lion. Im having a big trouble with my apple ID. I cant create an ID. first was the credit card security code. Somebody told me to follow the instructions in this link to solve the problem ( iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records ) but i cant even connect to Itunes Store. PLEASE I NEED SOME HELP URGENT!!
P.D: I created an ID on apple page but it seems that doesnt work for nothing. I tried using that ID on both (Itunes an App Store) but doesnt work.

First and foremost, I agree with gdgmacguy about using the support link. That is most likely your best bet. But, I have read posts from other users that had issues with their Apple ID that you must enter your address exactly like it appears on you credit card statement. Don't abbreviate "street" or "road" - things like that - unless that matches your statement exactly. Have you moved and maybe not changed your address on your credit card statement yet...??
I am not saying that is the reason you can't create the ID, but it has been an issue for some. You could try what I suggest, but the support link is the best way to go if you can't get it accomplished on your own.
here is the support link.

Flicker screen droid not responding as of 9-29-2010 help please!

The screen is going crazy like someone is moving the screen. i have taken out battery and i have done a factory reset it did not help. my phone is becoming totally unresponsive. could it be the 2.2 upload? idk it was not dropped, did not get wet, was not in the sun . this is my online and I do need my phone. I am home all day with my 2 year old son..help please!

I think the best thing you could do is take it back to Verizon. If you still have warranty call motorola, or asurion.
There could be bug in it, but highly doubt it. I think that there is a loose connection to the screen.

WRT54GX2 slow wireless 5.5 mbps speed help please

So I just received my WRT54GX2 and got it hooked up. Here are some details of my equipment which are all experiencing the same issue while connected via wireless.
1 Dell Inspiron wireless G. (updated latest driver)
1 Toshiba laptop wireless G (not sure on driver yet)
1 custom tower with wireless G (updated latest driver)
WRT54GX2 ver 2 with firm ware 1.00.08 (just updated)
Comcast 6 Meg cable internet service with Motorolla cable modem
Here is the problem I am experiencing.
After configuring the WPA2/TKIP settings and getting everybody logged on, the wireless connectivity speed (reported via the windows XP wireless utility) indicates connection speeds of 5.5 Mbs. If I disable the adapter and re-enable it, it connects and is at 54 Mbps for about 1 second, then rapidly drops down to the 5.5 which is where it stays. This problem is replicated on all 3 PC's on the wireless. I have tried adjusting the beacon interval down to 50, even went down to 10 with no result. I changed the RTS threshhold to 2304. Tried setting the transmission rate from auto to 54 Mbps. I tried adjusting the RWIN settings on my PC as suggested in another post here where somebody was experiencing a similar problem. I have installed the Microsoft WPA2 patch (893357) and that made no difference either. I have switched to G only instead of mixed mode. Tried channels 1, 11, 7, 6, and probably most of the others. Moved the router around to different locations in the room. Even sitting within arms reach of it, I still only see the 5.5 Mbps (I have full signal strength BTW). I ran netstumbler and found very few wireless networks within range. And the ones that were had very weak signals. Short of unplugging my cordless phone, I am at a loss of things to try. I may reset the router and try a new config from scratch, but if there is any help on this subject it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for all your wireless cards. Note that often the speed of your wireless network is determined by the "weakest link" in your system. You might want to try to isolate the problem by turning on each wireless computer separately, then two at a time. You might be able to tell which computer is bringing down your wireless speed.
If you still have trouble, try the following.
For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps. For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
Hope this helps.
