The Question
Eternal
When I finally was able to replace the 2012 piece-of-shit all-in-one HP Pavilion 20 I had spent over a year using, I knew I'd need a display to go with it. Didn't have a lot of $ left over after the new computing unit -- all I could afford with a $600 stimcheck was a 2020 HP Envy TE-something-or-other Customize-To-Order rig. (To which I added no customizations, both in hopes of keeping the price down as well as getting it ASAP.)
So the best I could do for a display was a second-hand HP 2511x 25" FHD monitor. Just looked for a link to it on Amazon, I guess the closest thing they sell to it now is this:
Amazon.com: HP 2311x 23-Inch LED Monitor - Black: Computers & Accessories
Anyway, the HDMI cable that came with it was... about 1', at most. Severely short cable.
Well, it finally occurred to me, just tonight, and I have no idea why it took me so long to even think of it, to ask down at the Dollar General if they sell HDMI cables. Turns out they do, which surprised the hell out of me. So from a 1' cable to a 6' cable. Makes a world of difference in how I'm able to arrange shit on my desk.
If you've read this far, I'll bet you're every bit as Fucking Bored on a Friday night as I am. Ya loser.
