    Philips BDM4065UC - 40" 4K 60Hz monitor thread

    That setup looks absolutely nuts - congrats. :) I have a 2x U2412M + 1x U3415W at home, on Ergotech stand, with Lightpack. I'm absolutely loving the 34" for programming with Visual Studio 2015, which gives me room for Ncrunch, solution explorer and two reasonably sized editing windows and what...

    Quick-switch between Extended Desktop and Surround?

    I just came in to post a huge THANK YOU for this script, Unknown One, which is now pinned to my start menu in Windows 8.1. The only change I had to do was to set the surround change button to ctrl + alt + s in Nvidia control panel. Now that I have the power to game on all 3 screens, but need...

    Dell U2412M

    FWIW, having three screens, I'm seeing some variance between two of my screens as far as the brightness goes. I need to pump my center screen up a little bit compared to the sides to get the same amount of brightness in white areas. I've just gone by my eye so far, but once I have some time I...

    Dell U2412M

    Thanks! Yep I love the Galant too, it's a fantastic desk with lots of real estate (with the rounded corner end bit add on on one side, and a flat section on the other). http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4035/4439828167_4de40ed257_z.jpg - this is from when I had just set it up, it's nowhere this...

    Dell U2412M

    They do look very nice on the Ergo tech stand, which arrived from the US today. Please excuse the crappy pics, but: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-DFcSmKo4_aw/TkupAUCE8ZI/AAAAAAAAB-k/iE5GVdsNciI/s912/2011-08-17%2B21.39.57.jpg...

    Dell U2412M

    A bit of time has passed, how's your display now? _Some_ of it did return but it never got back to being as bad as it originally was. I really had to be looking for it a lot more than when it was brand new. Between sick 11 month old etc, time's been in very short supply, but I replaced my...

    Dell U2412M

    Ah, nice find, thanks for that - I will let it run some. I still haven't had time to try my replacements, but the current ones have actually continued to improve somewhat. I'm working from home today after I got hit by a car who failed to give way on my bicycle not far from home (I'm 100%...

    Dell U2412M

    New shots of middle screen: Exposure: 0.125 sec (1/8). Aperture: f/1.8. ISO 200. Exposure: 0.2 sec (1/5) Aperture: f/1.8. ISO 200. Hmmm. I'd definitely say it's better. Angle slightly from bottom left, didn't get time to set up tripod so leant against a chair. Have received new screens but...

    Dell U2412M

    Glad to hear you like it. Yep it's great! :) My two replacements arrived today, ordered two days ago (I ordered 3 of them a couple of pages back). However in the mean time it does seem like there's been considerable improvement to the uniformity and bleeding especially on the worst screen...

    Dell U2412M

    Interesting! I'll try to get a few more shots done tonight. The result may end up being of great interest. I was having to look for the bleed last night; before, the bleed looked at me.

    Dell U2412M

    This is kind of weird. The backlight bleeding on my two displays last night was getting less noticeable, I'd say the centre (worst) one was significantly down, and uniformity way up. There's still a spot on the left screen, which now seems to be the worst one. Unless I was seeing things though...

    Dell U2412M

    Grats on your screen! I'm actually using an active DisplayPort adapter to DVI for my third screen. This is what I was using before (all DVI screens only), and DP cables are indeed quite expensive - so I won't be replacing them soon .. I need 3 metres too, for my cabling.

    Dell U2412M

    You should try getting them in Australia; I was told 3 weeks in the order confirmation ... and 1.75 days after that my three monitors were here. :) Wednesday arvo order, Friday morning delivery.

    Dell U2412M

    Thanks for your advice, much appreciated - good news on my right screen too. I decided to get the two monitors swapped over. If nothing else it'll increase my chances of getting good ones. They were built a bit further east - China. My S/Ns were all: CN-0HC55P-74261-161-xxxx. Well, I just...

    Dell U2412M

    Thanks - yep, I did note that too. I think it's to do with lens being slightly smudgy, as I wrote. Micro fiber cloth is drying after wash now..
