Advantages: Beautiful City, lots to see & do Disadvantages: None
Walking around Verona in early June, there was a smell all over the city, not the smell of decaying rubbish as I experienced in my work trip to Naples, but the sweet smell of tree blossom, and Jasmine, even my hotel had Jasmine growing under the window!
I never really took to Shakespeare, at school I was more into war stories, and adventures, but Verona forever has the association with Romeo & Juliette, as you walk around the city, you will see plaques embedded in various walls with Shakespearean quotes.

Advantages: A beautiful city with lots to offer Disadvantages: Italy itself can be a little expensive

Advantages: A Cheap, but good performing LCD monitor Disadvantages: Contrast ratio could be improved
I've had my 22" Hannspree Verona for a while now, and I've only got a good opinion of it. I purchased it from Misco for £145, where I also added an HDMI cable. That's right - It has both VGA and HDMI connection sockets.. Whether you want to hook it up to your PC (my graphics card has an HDMI port) or your DVD player you can do it with the increased clarity afforded by HDMI.
***Features***
The monitor itself boasts several features in addition to the HDMI connectivity. With a maximum resolution of 1680 x 1050 there is ample of space on the desktop, and allows for a large display area. It features a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and an image brightness of 300cd/m2. Whilst the contrast ratio isn't the best out on the market, it is more than sufficient for most daily tasks (If you use its dynamic contrast then you can increase this ...
