Please provide your system specs. It sounds like you need to make sure you're able to run three 30s. If the port or cable you're using is not DL, then that setup is not possible on a single card-- or at least not at native resolution. If the card has DP, DVI is probably a DL port, but if the...

Very nicely stated. I would recommend more screens over bigger screens for daytrading because the bezels don't make a huge difference. Also, you could pick up 4-6 decent 22"-24" screens for the price of a 30". If you're concerned with the cost, depending where you live, there might be a...

The Fredde has got to be pretty massive. The description says ~73"x29" (that's right, inches-- it's 6 feet long) vs ~50x29 of the Jerker and ~55x29 Fredrik (link). The wings can be attached inside or out, but doesn't look like there's any articulation like on the Jerker. The main desk area...

I think I misunderstood your question. The wings on the Jerker extend off the desk and go part the monitors. The speakers sit perpendicular to the monitors so there's no blocking whatsoever. They're actually a lot bigger than they look in the picture and I bet they could hold 100+lb. I used...

You could always go 3x2 30s with eyefinity without needing to upgrade your desk, although I think your current setup is a better balance of form and functionality. The Galant is modular, so technically you could keep tacking on extensions and monitors. I love the Jerker. Not sure why Ikea...

I'd check out Costco. Just went there and they had some True Innovations chairs for around $100. They own Serta and a few other furniture design companies and they're endorsed by the american chiropractic association. They have a mesh work chair on sale this week for $80 (100-20) that I...

No, thank YOU for signing! I'm sure there's plenty of interest for support for this setup. It's pretty unique, but I don't know a single person who has seen it that hasn't wanted it for themselves. I'm sure it's been posted elsewhere, but the more people we can get, the sooner we can make it...

Rtangwai – absolutely unreal, as always. I love how everything is all perfectly squared off now. It looks so clean. I honestly can’t understand why someone would need that many screens, but I wouldn’t say no if someone offered :P I have to imagine that your room heats up significantly when...

I would easily pay $100+ for something like this. The monitors cost over $1000 together and with games costing $60 a pop now, I don't mind paying for software to bring it all together. Of course it'd be great if AMD/Nvidia would support their customers, but no matter how you peg it, PLP is...

There are a lot of cool desk setups if you poke around here. If you're planning on getting more or bigger monitors, start looking around the workstation threads for inspiration. I'm currently setting up a 20x30x20 PLP setup on an Ikea Jerker that has a modular shelf. I installed LEDs under it...

The 3007WFPT is the same as the -HC version. $420 is a pretty good price for them since they usually go for about $500 used. When you go check them out, just have them plug it in and run a white screen (you can use a dead pixel test online or set a white background) and see if there are any...

I just ordered a Mini DP to DP cable off monoprice so I'll check if it works when it comes in. So far all signs point to a videocard problem so I'm going to bring the monitor over to a friends house today to check. I'll report back later in case someone else has the same issue. EDIT: Ended up...

So after a two week wait, I finally got my U3011 from eBay and happily plugged it in. I didn't realize this at first, but I needed either DL DVI or DP to run native resolution. No problem, I have a Gigabyte 7950 with a DL DVI port so I plugged it in using the DL DVI cable that it came with--...

Look at the last character of the serial number it should be either L or S. L is the LG ips and s is the Samsung PVA. I personally think the PVA is better looking up close but the IPS has a far better viewing angle. If you're like 5 feet away and standing up then you'll notice there's a yellow...

What kind of desk is this? It looks like a cross between a Jerker and a workbench.

It's too bad that everything you said is probably true. The manufacturers know what's going on in the industry far better than we ever will and they're not going to dump money into developing support for outdated hardware (talking both displays and cards). I think I'll be happy with my PLP...

*Drool* I mean...neat ;). I live in California and there are lots of farms and ranches out so they're not too hard to find. Unfortunately, they're still considered livestock so they're not technically legal outside Ag-X zoned areas :[ Love your setup by the way. Super clean and nice...

I heard back from AMD about PLP support and unfortunately, it looks like it's going to be limited to the newest cards. Here's their response: "I was talking to our Eyefinity contact and he said that it's in the works, and would definitely require a 7xxx or newer, and could possibly be...

Now I'm more interested in getting a pig than my new setup. Is there a special breed that make good pets?

Wow that's simply gorgeous. I especially like your old 6 monitor setup, but I think a 3x2 29"/30" setup would look even better. It kind of makes me wonder how you actually make use of that much desktop. I can't really tell from the pictures, but have you thought about angling the top monitors...

Please move this if this is posted in the wrong place. I have a Gigabyte 7950 which is connected to a tv (HDMI) and two monitors, one is DVI and the other is VGA through miniDP. The VGA one is a 17" Samsung and is over 10 years ago, but it works fine and I've never had a problem with it. I...

Wow nickchong's setup looks stunning with those laptop displays; the bezels are barely noticeable and looks well under 1cm (I think he just has them in front of the larger screen, but it looks great nonetheless). I just wish it were just a tad bigger. I'm no proponent for bigger is better and...

It's really hard to resist going bigger hearing you talk about all those options. My wallet says no, but well see what happens in March when the U3014 comes out :D I forgot about it until now, but I hear these setups give off a ton of heat. I can understand that LCDs give off quite a bit of...

Thanks for your responses! I feel like I have a way better understanding now than when I started looking into it. I heard that AMD has PLP on its todo list (not holding my breath), but I expect with softth source code coming out a couple months ago, someone will figure something out before...

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm pretty set on a Dell mainly for the reasons you stated. I think I'll wait until March for the new model to come out and see if the U3011 price drops. I did know that Eyefinity did not support PLP, but can someone elaborate on what that means? I was...

Thanks rtangwai. I was mainly looking at the 3008wfp because it was in the same line as my other ones and it'd look consistent. I like the thinner bezels on the Dells, but I'm really open to anything. I'm sure this information is somewhere else, but can someone point me towards some models to...

I just picked up 2xDell 2007fp for the 20Px30Lx20P setup I'm going to create so now I'm looking for the 30 in the middle. I was thinking about going for a 3007wfp/3008wfp, but was wondering if any other 30" models from Dell would work.

Thanks feetus! That really helped out. I went to Home Depot and they were selling the screws for like $0.89/ea (metric :() so I ended up ordering a box of 50 off amazon for $8. Now I have enough for my arms plus any others I get in the future :] On a separate note, has anyone had any...

I wouldn't say it's that odd. A few people are always looking for Jerkers around here and if you can hook up with someone and make them happy, that's all the better. But why would you want to get rid of such an amazing desk? :( It really depends on what you have and where you live. They've...

I think the one in your picture is the corner left. Wouldn't what you're looking for just be a corner right? The corner-left and corner-rights are just flipped over versions of each other. Maybe what you're looking for is a corner right with an extension. Proportionally, it's what you're...

I just got my hands on a set of Jerker printer arms but they came without screws. I can always go to home depot and get some, but I have no idea how you screw them in. Do they go from the outside of the arm into the frame? Can someone post a picture or explain how it works?
