Dual-monitors

[NM]

@Assertn: Thanks alot for the help! I appreciate it.
@complich: Lmao at the machine pr0n! XD Wish I had another LCD widescreen as another monitor though. The other one I'm using is a crappy CRT monitor but it gets the job done I suppose. I say its crappy is because it tends to distort the screen for some reason around the edges and sides. Wanna hook me up with one?

Awesome, but the dual-widescreens are elevated quite a bit though. I prefer to have the center of the monitor just a bit below eye level.

That's the great part about these things ...

you can push them almost all the way down to the desktop if you want (the one on the left, with the speaker bar attached, goes down far enough that the speaker bar comes within 1/2 inch of the base (or about 1 and a half inches from the tabletop, if that helps you picture it). As low as a CRT without a base, and it still tilts and rotates freely.

One thing I can't fault dell on is the ergonomics of their LCDs. Every angle you want to adjust them, they're adjustable.

(And actually, for me (because I'm huge), that IS a little bit below eye level :-p. The top bezel of the panel raised all the way is about even with my eyebrows.)

Yeah. Most CRTs do that. Cheaper ones, older, and larger ones do it more. It's particularly pronounced when they're paired with lcd's (with their perfect image aspect ratios), as are brightness and color differences.

I wish I could give these things to people .... i'd give myself one, two each to my bosses (in the form of two more dual-widescreen-flat panel workstations), and two to my director. And replace the last CRT's in here with them too (which would take about 10 of them .... hey, it's only about 5 grand worth of flat panel).

Thanks for the complement though. I'm trying to make it progressively nicer looking through computer upgrades. A year ago, it looked more cluttered and the computers were less well-matched. Two years ago, we were in a much smaller, much more crowded room with much worse hardware all around, and everything was a huge ugly mess all the time.
