Are you happy with those monitors? I'm planning to buy one of those, so could you tell me some pros/cons? :p

Edit: I'm planning to buy either the 2343NW or 2343BW. Is there any other differences between them than pivot and DVI-port?

Diaz, there truly was no reason for you to quote Jadawg's photo...

Next time just reply either without it, or make a note like "@jadawg" in your post please?
 
@Z(+)DIAC

Sorry, I don't know why but this forum only shows me the links of the pictures, so I didn't notice that I actually quoted the whole picture.
 
@Diaz\ Yes, the lcds are great! I love that they are higher than 1920x1200 in pixel count yet still 16:9, I think the color is excellent (for a TN panel) right out of the box, and I only had to drop 207 with tax for each @ my local microcenter. I can't really name a con to be honest, other than it being a TN panel...hmmm...it doesn't line up very well with my dell w2409 on the right but that was to be expected. The nonstandard resolution can cause some problems, - not with games but rather wallpapers and such. The bezel is very glossy and shows fingerprints quite easily. My 4850x2 had some problems initially with enabling disabling secondary monitors and enabling xfire. Also DVI-DVI is native so I wouldn't think of linking the lcd to my pc any other way and considering 99% of video cards have DVI as a primary connector I see no reason to incorporate HDMI other than if you wanted to view TV on it.

-The Man Behind The Camera-
I'm the one on the left as Super Mario. I attend Sakura-con (anime convention) yearly. I also walk around with portable hidden speakers that plays Mario
music off of me connected to a 3rd generation 8GB iPod nano.

-TV Area-
Samusng LN22A450 (22" 16:10 Widescreen LCD HDTV / this TV also does 1080p in 24p mode :)
Altec Lansing FX5051 (5.1 Computer Speakers)

This someday will have a 46" LCD HDTV on it and some real home theater speakers.

Splinter is behind the center speaker :)

-The Equipment Shelf-
This houses all my electronic equipment. A home theater receiver will be placed in where the game guides are when the budget becomes available.

-The List-

Linksys EZXS55W EtherFast 5-Port 10/100 Switch

Nintendo (not hooked up, but I have an emulator for that)
Super Nintendo
Nintendo 64 (black)
Nintendo Game Cube (indigo / not hooked up as the Nintendo Wii can do what the Nintendo Game Cube does)
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP (silver)
Nintendo DS Lite (crimson and black / not shown but on top of the book case)

Sony Playstation 2
Sony BDP-S350 (Blu-ray player)

-The Computer Area-
Someday when I get my 46" er TV I will use the Dell 22" screen in vertical mode and use the Samsung 22" TV as the main monitor in horizontal mode.

(I know the cable management needs a lil work)

-Main PC-
Dell 22" Widescreen 16:10 LCD
OS : Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ @ 2.5 HHz

Sony DVD ROM
NEC DVD +/- RW Burner
Seagate 250 GB 7200 rpm hard drive
Samsung 1 TB 7200 rpm hard drive
Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 512 GDDR3 memory

-Laptop-
Dell Inspiron E1705
OS : Windows XP Pro 32 bit
Minus the hard drive the specs were maxed out on this lil device...I has a 256mb pci express x16 video card in it. It only has 1GB of memory but someday I
will have 2 in it.

-Other Devices-

HP Photosmart 1115 color inkjet printer (behind the laptop / someday will be replaced with something better)

Okay, is there any backlight leaks when watching something black?

I guess that's going to replace my 26" 1920x1200. ;)

Damn those are huge panels. How did you get Eyefnity working with that orientation? What flight sim is that?
 
I know it's messy, and crappy pics from droid. Moved in 2 weeks ago. New desk and monitor delivered last week. Monitor is Asus VW266H and laptop is Asus G51vx. View is my backyard. I'll update once I finish unpacking.

After reviewing various reviews here I ordered the VW266H. VW266H was $235 after rebates/BCB. I'm ordering another before rebate expires Friday. I use it for work and the occasional game.

Nevermind, it looks like you fixed it after I posted.

@Diaz there is a tiny bit on the bottom of the panel. I had to turn off adjacent screens turn off lighting in room, take a screenshot and compare to the displayed image to tell though.
 
Look like two Necs mounted sideways. Is that an iMac or just an Apple monitor?
 
That's an imac with two extra displays connected to another computer running windows. Nice setup. Personally i would prefer two of the same size displays though
 
Just got some new monitors

i made the speaker stands my self which is why they are almost the perfect height

the netbook is for torrenting "linux distos"
 
Finally got the chance to grab a picture of my new Dell Ultrasharp u2711, 2560x1440 is incredible, made the switch from 3x 1920x1200 painless for the most part.
The color vibrancy is insane compared to those TN panels.

Thanks everyone for the comments :D



I live in Panama City, Panama right now :)



I like it just fine, it could be worse...could be limestone. The living room, dining room, formal room, and bathrooms (oversize showers included) are all done in marble...I can deal with this floor for the bedrooms :)



Thanks! I like it, just wish I had a terrace :(

Just setup my eyefinity last night.

So far tried L4D, L4D2 and DA. Fun. Can't seem to figure out how to get Grid to not look stretched.

You probably just need to adjust your aspect ratio. Mine is set to Normal, but there are a ton of options. Eyefinity can throw off what the game senses, but there's usually 1 or 2 that look right. Here's mine:

5040x1200 (with bezel management)

So far all of the codemaster racing games I've tried have worked perfectly with eyefinity.
 
Thanks. I feel like an idiot. After patching, it's fine. Love the trackball. When playing FPS, I can spin around by spinning a ball and shoot anyone from behind. With a mouse, I'm a lot slower and less precise. I use one at work also. Was introduced to trackballs way back when I had to use an Apple at work.

Eyefinity is great. And it's true, you don't notice the bezels when playing.

Damn, now I want an eyefinity setup. I love GRID and that screen shot just makes me want go out and spend lots of cash. Got 3 monitors but not on one PC. Need the vid card as well.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
 
Have you all seen the movie Avatar?

I saw at the control station all these oval looking shape glass monitor.

It would be nice if someone can make a 27" or 30" and make it 3 monitors length and oval shape and thin LED panel are already here.
