    1. Transport issues. 2. Using cards in crossfire and annoyingly with these monitors doesn't work with all 3. 3. Actually work more productively with 2 monitors... 3 is a bit overkill. 4. Wiring would be hell if I had the tower under the desk here... all the cables would have to go down the front.

    What do you guys use to clean your LCD Monitors?

    A monitor cleaning kit from the supermarket. Contains liquid solution and reusable microfiber cloth.

    Is it ok to clip my PSU?

    I had a spare cable on the new PSU I installed. Just cable tied it and left it at the top of the case... the one benefit of having a case with an old-school design. ;)

    Old PSU exploded just before the end of 2011. You could say my year went out with a bang. Pictured below is the replacement PSU, CM Silent Pro Gold 1200w. Setup at university halls with 2 30" monitors, 2*800w speakers + 2000w amp PA sound system and 10.7TB of NAS (5*3TB disks). Still...

    The ST2220T seems to try to conform to the same [higher] dot pitch as the other monitors hooked up to my 6970 (the 30 inchers); ergo the touch function becomes more off position the further one ventures from the center of the screen: I'm not sure why it does this but it seems to be a...

    Not quite sure yet. If I don't have space for it with my desktop I can use it as a docking monitor for my notebook which has the same native resolution on its screen.

    Buying bare-bone system?

    There are always people who want to upgrade their PC or keep it running on the cheap. Sling any parts for a low price that you don't want post-upgrade and use that to increase your budget. As for cooling reclaiming that CoolerMaster V8 I see in your sig for your new rig (switch that mobo set...

    Moved speakers up to desk level... Also, Dell were having a 25% sale here so I took the plunge on an ST2220T. Hoping to do something like this: If my keyboard won't fit either well... I might just use the monitor with Win7's OSK.

    Question about Eyefinity

    Here's the deal, I'll be upgrading my main GPU to a HD 6970 and plan to use SLS (smart taskbar/bezel management) across 3 30" displays. If I want to keep another, separate, Nvidia GPU in the system with a couple of additional monitors hooked into it for whatever purpose, will this mean I can't...

    IPS or TN for a gamer?

    Exactly what happened to me with gamma shift. IPS and IPS variants from here on out, or at least until something better comes along.

    Which side monitor to get for U3011?

    If you want something to match the quality then it's pretty much Dell or HP as your choice here.

    lcd monitor 30" vs lcd ( led ) tv 32"

    Well if you're looking at 30" they're only 60Hz refresh rate and 60Hz 1920x1080 TVs are pretty cheap now. Best of both worlds scenario would be to tun a 30" computer monitor for non-gaming and a 32" for gaming. Fonts etc. will look nicer on a 30" at a close distance; on the other hand you don't...

    Gaming: 3 x 24" or 1 x 27/30"?

    A 24" 16:10 screen offers more pixel real estate (1920x1200) than 16:9 (1920x1080) but now people are saying that games are being designed for a 16:9 field of view as opposed to 16:10 which is where this "Less visible area" comes from. So as wings 16:10 is not an issue. Just keep in mind the...

    lcd monitor 30" vs lcd ( led ) tv 32"

    Depends how far away you are sitting vs. how much pixel real estate you want (for web browsing etc.) vs. how much you're willing to pay vs. how powerful the graphics card you have is. A 580 should be ok for today's games on a 30" but maybe not a 285.

    Actually no, the desk is so deep I can sit back and just turn my eyes.
