    Custom Displays

    Interesting, I know others are also working on this with the LG LP129QE1 - see the ibm t221 yahoo group for details. It would also be tempting to explore the 15.4" LP154WT1 since the bigger display might be better for a desktop replacement.

    Exploring the HW limitations of Nvidia Surround gaming

    2 display support is coming, current estimate is r325 but of course subject to change. This feature is most useful to people running 4k displays which are handled as two panels on the backend (sharp 4k and ibm t221 are the most common current examples). AMD has been supporting 2 display...

    How far away for 4K PC monitors, and affordable ?

    It's great for reading and photo editing as well but playing games is where I think high dpi monitors really shine since its (at least for me) a more immersize experience.

    How far away for 4K PC monitors, and affordable ?

    Yeah I don't have Crysis so not sure what it plays like but for the games I mentioned they're playable at 3840x2400.

    How far away for 4K PC monitors, and affordable ?

    I've had enjoyable experiences gaming on my ibm t221 with a 7950 3gb. I haven't played all the latest games but Hitman Absolution, Deus Ex HR, and Borderlands 2 are all fun and run well. With a high dpi display I can usually turn down or off AA settings to help with frame rates. One of the...

    Dell U3014 News

    Eh, 4k isn't that big of a graphical challange esp since you need less AA with smaller pixels. I'm pushing 8 megapixels on a t221 with a 7950 and most games play pretty well, for things like web and office work even integrated will be fine.

    Nvidia live from CES.

    I thought Grid is supposed to be the business oriented cloud gaming hardware platform? Companies like OnLive would buy Grid to support their offerings rather than a consumer offering.

    Westinghouse to release 50", 55", 65" 2160p@120hz televisions

    2 x dual link DVI is a pita now that ATI is only shipping with 1 DL-DVI (as of the HD 6000 series) connector and nVidia surround doesn't support 2 screen surround. nVidia mosiac seems to be the ideal solution but it's only on their quadro cards ($$$).

    $5500 4K 32" Sharp LCD on the way

    It's an interesting monitor but the pixel density is a bit disappointing, I'd rather have the same resolution in a 24" screen.

    ASUS Matrix HD 7970 Platinum

    Quick question regarding the outputs, are both DVI dualink if none of the displayports are used? nvm found my own answer: looks like you either get 1 single link DVI + 1 dual link DVI + 3 displayports or 1 single link DVIs with 4 displayports

    Will I ever switch to LCD?

    Geometry issues were the biggest annoyance about CRTs along with the fact they were big, heavy, and text was fuzzy.

    In need of a better VPN solution

    +1 for the Cisco ASA with the SSL VPN licenses. It works well and as long as your users have local admin you don't need to install anything ahead of time. The new x series looks pretty nice as well.

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    Yeah, I got mine from Japan but there seems to be a few more popping up on ebay in the past couple months here in the states. It's running at 48hz with two dual link DVI cables connected to monoprice DP to DVI adapters. The monitor itself has two LF60 inputs but it came with DVI adapters...

    What do IT consultants do?

    Geez seems like people have had some bad experiences with IT consultants. Most of the time consultants are brought in for a specific short term project such as deploying a new SAP system or deploying a technology where it doesn't make sense to hire someone full time. I would suspect that...

    No offense, but really you clearly had your answers and you came back with a reply that seemed pretty snarky and self indulgent. Frankly I'm surprised you even got another reply with that attitude.

    lensrental.com

    The prices for the rental itself isn't bad but the mandatory 2 day shipping at $30 is pretty pricey. If you're near a large city most of them have stores that rent lenses for similar prices w/o the shipping. Here in Chicago I've rented from Calumet a couple of times with no issues.

    Would you join the ‘digital Blackwater’ ?

    Or it could be worth a lot of money to the government to have someone else use the slightly unorthodox methods the government wants to use but doesn't want to get caught using themself.

    Lian Li USA or other contact info???

    Not surprised since you're dealing with a relatively small company based in Asia. If you run into an issue with one of their cases the retailer would be my first avenue of support, not Lian Li. That being said I've owned my fair share of Lian Li cases overs the years (PC-60, V1000, A05n...

    Not to get too far off topic but in Chicago the TigerDirect and Microcenter are walking distance from each other, too bad the Fry's is a drive out the burbs which is a giant pita. I'll have to look into the Directon deal, thanks.

    Recommendations for home viewing of medical imaging

    If you're a doctor then I would recommend that you talk to your tech dept since specialized displays must be used. If you're part of a tech dept and have received such a request then I would contact a vendor who sells such displays so they can walk you through a purchase. In either case I...
