I don't remember. It wasn't very expensive, maybe $130. Was some off-brand one my dad bought for me.
I'll check and see if I see any names stamped on it.

Cool let me know if you find any info. Specially if it was around $130 looks decent for that price range.

It's the good 'old BGMicro 2x20 VFD that went on sale a long time back, running VFD Thinger that was written by a HardForum member

Use it as a clock + news + WinAmp display

"upgraded" to a Dell 34" Curved Ultrawide from an LG 34" flat Ultrawide.

i2abid · Dec 1, 2017

Swooped on a crazy low priced LG 34" 1080p 144hz ips on the right a few days ago for smoother gaming. Was a no brainer at the time, and I'm loving it now.

Was that the $215 one on Amazon? I was tempted to get it since it was a great deal.

I saw that pop up a couple weeks ago and read those orders were canceled, this one was $256.01 on Amazon.
Figured I would give it a shot and it went through!

Oh, didn't know the orders got canceled. The lowest I've seen an LG 34" was at Costco a few months ago for $279. My friend bought one since he liked my 34".

I've never been a fan of how cluttered my desk looks with 5.1 speakers, but after months of not using them, hearing the quality is a revelation, each time. Guess they'll stay on the desk for a little while...

NIZMOZ · Dec 2, 2017

Samsung 6290 40" 4k TV 2017, and Dell 34" Ultrawide Curved. I just put the TV in today and mounted the Dell above it.

cygnus_x_1 · Dec 2, 2017

My current setup that is getting long in the tooth. waiting to pull the trigger on one large format 4k screen, but still enjoy hours of work and play on this setup.

This is what happens when I get bored and have too much time and equipment on my hands:

nine_monitors, on Flickr

All the monitors are hooked up to my main workstation, the 2x2 on the left are also plugged into my work laptop for when I work from home, the 30" on the right is hooked up to my personal laptop as well. The M92z on the far right is used only in monitor mode.

I may finally have gone too far, even I haven't figured out what to do with this many monitors on 1 workstation.

Oh well, you never know your limits until you surpass them

How Many money do i need for copy your system?

Assuming you have a six-output video card and a CPU/motherboard with 3 outputs the monitors cost me about $2000 CDN.

Zepher · Dec 13, 2017

The LG 34" that I moved upstairs to my bedroom.
For some odd reason, this monitor looks much larger when I am sitting at it upstairs, vs when I was sitting at in the garage.
Don't know what is up with that.
It is also a bit too high, need to mod the desk and get the monitor to sit on the main desk area, or get a monitor arm that allows me to get the monitor to sit much lower.

I wouldn't mod the desk, I would consider getting an arm so you can move the monitor as you see fit (up-down-left-right.) Then later if you decide you want another monitor boom just add another arm extension and you are golden. You can find some decent arms on amazon for pretty cheap.

Still works (at least up to Win7x64) with VFD Thinger using a cheap USB->serial dongle

Yessir, one G19 at home, one G19 at work, both still in like-new condition after years of use!

I simply don't know how anyone could use a single monitor (excluding ultra wide screens) anymore, it just feels so limiting.

Multi monitor with Windows virtual desktops is just the best thing ever.

Holy crap. Nice setup.

Your tower is uncomfortably close to the edge of your desk for me.

Yeah...I can't ever go back to a single display anymore. Perhaps I can work with a large 4k screen...but a single 1080p or 1440p monitor is not something I can work with. I need a secondary display.

I pulled my old UV system out and turned it on this weekend and the LIS POP is still working like a champ.

that is a custom desk a friend made in the mid 90's. He gave it to me in 1997 or 98. It used to be brown.

fenixv · Jan 24, 2018

Ah, the 90's. What a time to be alive. Cool desk.
