speaking of 2560x1600 30" displays... they are indeed badass, especially when you pair them with another 1280x1024 monitor right next to it images/smilies/biggrin.gif

sorry about the quality, it's from my old Treo w/ shittycam effect enabled 24/7 images/smilies/tongue.gif

jeffy777 · July 28th, 2008, 12:03 AM

Wow, I want one!!! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

What size is that 1280 x 1024 monitor? 19 inch?

Das_Idiot · July 28th, 2008, 12:14 AM

18.1, but it looks like a thirteen or something next to this behemoth of a 30" display!

the 18.1" Mitsubishi is real old too, I had it with my PowerMac G4 before it died. it shows its age when I crank the brightness on the 30" ACD, but I keep it about half bright so it doesn't embarrass the Mitsu too much lol

jeffy777 · July 28th, 2008, 12:15 AM

Bet that cost a small fortune, especially since it's an Apple monitor.

EDIT: $1800!!! That's freakin insane:

You could just about buy a 50 inch TV for that price, lol.

Das_Idiot · July 28th, 2008, 12:19 AM

but I already have a 61" LCoS TV, I don't need another :p

but I didn't pay that much for it. I agree, it's expensive, but it is quite elegant, plus it has a USB and FireWire hub built-in... the cabling on it is also quite nicely done. Just a quality product. plus it's covered by AppleCare when I got it with the Mac Pro.

I COMPLETELY understand why someone would get a Dell display over this, but for me, it was the right call. Certainly everyone will be different.

I'll have to upload a pic of my setup with the Server and all the routers....

But besides that, I LOVE MULTIPLE MONITORS!!

And take the suggestion on Page 1, ULTRAMON is the greatest program ever!

Apple stuff is such a ripoff.

Nice, only you can actually put MacOS on most PC's.

a lot of people would say the same about a lot of cars images/smilies/wink.gif

I was gonna say I only have one measley one but I just remembered there's a laptop too, only they're two separete computers. LOL
I think I'm gonna drag the old monitor up from the basement and hook it up just for kicks...

Yeah and don't we all know it. Go get a pic right now. Go. Do it.

My old craptastic desktop has two 19" CRT's. Haven't used that old thing for a while though, so I've sort of become accustomed to single monitor use again... but now I have a laptop plus a 12" wacom cintiq (totally awesomezors tablet with a screen, you can draw on it yo dawg!) so it's all good. Dual monitors are indeed awesome, although for when I'm not working OS X's spaces is a perfectly acceptable alternative to dualies, and, bonus, there's no neck strain from having to look one way and then the other then the other then the other. (I'll get pics later)

I could actually setup 6 monitors, come to think of it. It would have to involve that tool that links up computers through the network to act like they're all one connected display (I don't know what it is, but my brother has it). I have no reason to do that, and I'd need to temporarily steal a surge protector from somewhere else in the house for it to even work, but I could do it.

And how the hell can you possibly use a 32 inch monitor that close?!?! images/smilies/blink.gif

I looked at one at Best Buy a few days ago, and IMO it was just waaaay too big to use at any sort of a close distance.

You could also just buy some cheap video cards. I know a friend that ran 3 video cards -- two for SLi and one for a second monitor.

I ordered an 8400GS to run my CRTs so I can finally run all three off of my desktop.
