Anyone else wish they made a 5k 24"? For some people 27" is too big!

This is a nitpick, but is 1920 by 1080 really an optimum resolution?

Shouldn't video cards come with 2 hdmi. One for the monitor, one for the receiver?

When the main computer speakers are connected the flat panel speakers shut off. Any desktop speakers will sound better. My turntable is a very standard 3 pin IEC but I need to order from Amazon to get a better length.

There are no component video connectors on the back of a Denon receiver. Nice.

What is USB-C for anyway? I just took a look and it looks like an imitation of Apple's Lightning connector. Is it a replacement for mini-USB that is used on portable audio players?

Windows xp or Windows 7 or even Windows 2000. If you type a command like "ipconfig" in command.com the title bar will change to "cmd.exe". Command.com is also labeled "MS-DOS."
