I am in a quandry at the mo.
i currently have:
2x samsung 770p (spva)
1 x samsung 173t (awful)
1 x dell 2405fpw
i have run out of space and need a new setup. in an ideal world i would have 4x30" 3008wfp or something similar but this is not very economical @ 4x £1000 + £500 for the mount. The hp lp3065 is a similar price but seems to be discontinued. Price is an issue at the moment, ive got around £2000 i can spend on a new setup but could possibly go higher if i really needed.
i found a guy on ebay who has 6 hazro hz30w's . he says they are 2 month old and refurbs. He has invited me to look at them in operation and offered a 3 month warranty as he has several controller cards to repair them with should there be a problem. However he doesnt expect one. He wants £365 each for them, it is however a 6 hour round trip for me to go "look". i can get these new for £700 each with a proper warranty. these screens cant be mounted so the max i could fit on my desk would be 3 of them, one in the middle and two angled toward me either side.
It occured to me i could get 6 x 23" or 24" for a similar or better price but then a mount is likely to cost between £300 - £650 (one place wants 650, the other hasnt got back to me yet)
The new samsung sm2343bw looked interesting because a
its cheap, bhi res and widescreen. It is however a tn panel. The 770ps i have are the best ive owned interms of quality of image and i do notice the change looking from one screen to the other so i want uniformity in whatever i get.
my options then:
1) get two 30" panels that are current, like 3008wfp. (i can later add two more if needed when i am able because they will mount)
2) get three refurb hazros at low cost and take my chances
3) get three new hazros
4) get 6 23" samsung sm 2343bw and a mount (dont know why mounts cost so damn much!)
5) get 6 as yet unknown spva panels for a cost of i dont know what
i am using dual 7800gtx now so they would need upgrading to dual link dvi cards aswell if i go the 30" route. but i can sqeeze this ontop of the £2k budget. I am trying to think what would be best to look at and in what arrangement as well as what is the best screen setup. I am using charts not anything 3d.
if anyone has any advice id appreciate it!
