got that same monitor for my brothers Christmas gift looked really sharp on the instore model
Agreed. I looked at the 21.5 inch model at Conns, and the blacks were very good, and whites were amazing. The colors weren't the best, but they were still better than most TN panels.
I've been doing some more battery modding. I managed to get a third external battery shipped in from a different radioshack, so I took the cells out of it and added them to the 12 cell pack. I have two more Toshiba 9 cell packs on the way to use with the leftover charging circuit.
Picture time!

The old cells rigged up into 2 x 6 cell packs:
The new cells rigged up. All 6 are in parallel.
All wired up:
This is starting to get epic.
I also found a CF reader at office depot for 94 cents, so I decided to add it.

Card in place:
