A projector? Lame! LOL.
A projector would be cool if I had the space for it, but I prefer my 2560x1600 resolution over anything above my 30" size. That's plenty big enough when it's right in front of your face.

Well its definitly not for everybody but it works for me : )

What are you using for a monitor ? I recently looked at a few of the NEC 30" panels but the contrast ratio was garbage at 500 to 1.

I will be buying a decent panel in the near future though, just need to find one that is worth the money.

I'm a database administrator and working for the government I wouldn't say I am rich, but I am living comfortable. I am doing much better since retiring from the Army though :-)

Thanks for noticing, but it took lots of work and years to get where I am now. I wish I could have all this same stuff about 20 years ago when I was partying!! LOL

A dell 3007WFP monitor. 700:1 contrast, 11ms response, 400d/m2 brightness, and 2560x1600 res. They only support Dual link DVI though, so you can only attach them to PCs. They're a relatively inexpensive way of getting HD video along with ridiculous resolution gaming. Playing games at that res is jawdropping.

I was just looking at the Dell 22" but its still too small and unless I find something with a 2000:1 contrast ratio Im not buying it as Ive seen in person the differences from 500:1 upto 2000:1. LG has a few large panels out that are 2000:1 that I will be checking out. My Proview is 500:1 and it pretty much has no black level to speak of just like every other display outthere with a ratio under 1500:1, but it was pretty cheap [$189.00] so I grabbed one as a toy more than anything else.

A black level is achievable to some degree on many low level dislplays but Im willing to pay for something that makes true black bye default, not with combined video card and monitor tweaking, especially in a large screen device where it becomes very noticeable.

I love the toilet computer bbmayo posted on page two.

Brilliant

The low contrast for me is a bit of a gripe, but it's not particularly significant compared to the gains from my POV. Obviously a lot of people would beg to differ.

On the couch at work!

I'm amazed this thread is still going!! :)

nice one! .. No setup change here, will post if I ever get round to doing it.

Gerry1, love you sig

I have to say tho that I am never ready for the idiots at work, they always seem to be one step ahead of me. Their capacity for stuffing up the simplest task never ceases to amaze. Some people shouldn't even use a toaster without supervision :)

Aaah, the tazman returns :-)

looks like there's been a fair few snazzy pics in this thread in my absence so i knocked up a couple new ones. Not as neat as some of your setups; kids and major multitasking puts paid to that :)

Hey,

Creaky not meaning to be nosy i was looking at your pics and your first one (With the laptop) On the screen was what looked from here Mac OS X Just wondered whether it was (Wasnt sure as your laptop didnt look very mac like) Or was it mandriva? Im asking as i was looking for a linux distro which gave that bar at the bottom and knew you had madriva so wondered if thats what it was.

Thanks lecsiy

it is indeed Mandriva, what you can see are 'epplets' in Enlightenment, they're just some of the standard epplets, like for clock, random wallpapers, cpu & network load, screensaver etc etc.
