New epic SCREENAGE!

[Colonel Mitch]

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

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)

I thought it was auto rotating the actual screen when the tyre dropped

Lol @ what happens when you try and play WoW in 1080x1920....



Zero Hour Doesn't like much it either :P

*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.

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