New epic SCREENAGE!

[Colonel Mitch]

As most of you are aware, unless your blind, I ordered and finally recieved my new screen yesterday :D

Samsung SyncMaster 2429HM

I have piccys of my setup and a vid i uploaded to youtube of the stand and rotation features in use =]

Sorry about the bad wuality pictures and the frankly awful video but thats all my phone can do and my 12 megapixel digital camera went walkabouts a year or so ago...

Enjoy and be jealous (apart from phantom wiht his lol screen :P)

[Colonel Mitch]

*cough* gimmick *cough*

I still don't see what's wrong with a cheap and cheerful screen... A picture is a picture...

Have you ever looked at an expensive screen?

The colours are so much more vibrant and generally alot sharper.

Very very nice, I have to say I'm jealous of the tilt feature. Chaz and Phant will agree that being able to flip into portrait mode, especially that easily, would make graphics work on long canvases a lot easier (Think comics, posters etc.)

I take it you went 1920x1080 so that you can watch HD films without bars?

[Colonel Mitch]

CSS in portrait..... EPIC

Basically it zooms in on the centre using the height of the screen to match that on a normal monitor, so what im getting is about 1/3 of the normall screen but al in the middle so greatly zoomed it.

(basically its like this is the middle in 3 portrait screens put together.)

You pay more you get better stuff. Mitch's screen was actually quite a low price one.

Yeah its the only thing (other than twilight, which is all dark and gloomy so wouldnt have made good pictures) that I have in Full HD.

[Chalex4]

Looks like a great monitor, but I'm sure you'll soon get bored of the tilting lol :p.

[Target]

Talking of getting bored of technological features, hows ur fail baby laptop chalex? :D

I don't want to derail this thread, but the 13.3" sony vaio I now have is exactly what I was wanting. It's extremely powerful so it can play all source games on high graphics (if I wanted) and is also very light, cool and quiet. The keyboard is also one of the best I've ever used (beats my G15 hands down).

I've got Windows 7 on it now, and I'm actually considering just taking the laptop to uni instead of my stupidly big desktop PC lol.

Remember though this thread is about Mitch's monitor of win :).
