is this not a thing of beauty?

Just bought a brace of them from eBay, one each for perlmonger and self.

and have paid an additional £20 for Saturday delivery - how could we possibly wait till Monday?!

how big, did you say? 24 inches, that's how big. Who said size isn't everything?

I wish I could, but I simply don't have the desk space :)

shiny

[blue-condition.livejournal.com]

Size is all well and good but what about resolution? ;)

[ramtops.livejournal.com]

1900x1200, built in 6-in-1 cardreader, four port USB hub, VGA, DVI, composite, component, and S-video connections. It also has integrated picture-in-picture (PiP) that works with any pair of inputs.

more details here (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=320-4221&c=us&cat=snp&category_id=6198&cs=04&l=en&mnf=694&Page=productlisting.aspx) ... you're only jealous :)

Ooooh now that is nice! (I'm tired of 1280x1024 19" at work, I'm a resolution junkie...)

625 of your earth pounds from eBay, brand new, boxed and 3 year warrantied. Gwan gwan gwan gwan gwan.

I actually have 2 x 18" NEC TFTs on this Mac, so I'm going to be sacrificing about 300 pixels, but it's worth it!

Ah ...

[the-magician.livejournal.com]

... does that mean you have one or two TFT screens "spare" then? I could certainly use one (or two!) on my home music machine (one for the mixer controls, FX plugins etc. and one for the music roll and recording controls)

Re: Ah ...

[ramtops.livejournal.com]

sorry - replacing ancient 17" CRT with one, and switching the other with the little 15" TFT, which will do fine for running server logs etc.

I don't think my desk will manage the 24" and an 18", but I'm going to try!

Sat in front of one at this precise moment and it truly is a Thing Of Beauty.

[ramtops.livejournal.com]

ah hah! Nice to have it confirmed by Corporate Man :)

[beermat]

that is *nice*

Wonders if it's time for me to upgrade my 17" HP 1200*1024 LCD. Temptress!

Yes, YES

[the-magician.livejournal.com]

You want to upgrade your screen, in fact

[... look into my eyes, don't look around my eyes, LOOk into MY Eyes ... you want to upgrade ... and you want to give (or at least sell for a very low price) your old rubbish LCD screen to the_magician .... and three two one and ... you're back!]

a 17" screen is so old and passe ...

Re: Yes, YES

[beermat]

old and passe

yeah, but what are you saying about my nice HP 17" LCD, eh? eh??

:)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sexy

[spride.livejournal.com]

Isn't it rather a waste for perlmonger? I mean, how big does his xterm need to be?

[ramtops.livejournal.com]

as I speak, he is in his lair Shed constructing a desk extension. What worries me is where the cats are going to sleep in the cold weather ...

[dougs.livejournal.com]

You do realise that it doesn't ship with that picture on the display?

[ramtops.livejournal.com]

what?!

I demand my money back.

[kalunina.livejournal.com]

ooohhh...shiny! we like!

[ramtops.livejournal.com]

I'm not finished yet ... :)

[beermat]
