28" Monitor.....any good?

[Justin]

Not running 3 monitors, bought the 28" to do away with multiple monitors....but I couldn't help keeping a second one on the desk for emails!

I would have loved to go the 3 monitor route but it mean't upgrading my mobo and graphics card so this will do for just now

You should build yourself one of these bad boys, Justin!

Lol, now where did you find my picture Ian?! Pretty cool that.

Funnily enough, as I sit here looking at my giant monitor, I've been debating going down the 3 monitor route again....time will tell.

Give in to temptation... you know you want to.
But seriously, you do get used to multi-monitor set-ups very quickly - especially if you do a lot of heavy Photoshopping or Final Cut Pro. As for that picture - it is good, isn't it? Google 'L3P D3SK' and you should find a couple of forum threads covering the design and build of the whole thing. I wish I had the time, money and skill to dedicate to something like that!

This 28" is doing me proud, very useful. Could do with a higher res. to get even more on screen though I'm thinking about getting 2 better quality smaller monitors instead...or 3.

how you find the differance justin from say my little 22" ? - obvious being size !!!
is it worth the extra cash to get one ?.....
and does it not hurt yer eyes being so close to that size ?

i tryed a 32" lcd tv 2/3 mths back as a monitor....holy crap....thought i was in the dam templates lol....toooooo big !

[Justin]

Well, difference is I've lost my desk space! lol. It's been very useful tbh, I picked it up locally for a good price so it was worth a punt. No eye strain and I've profiled it now a well.

Can you set up 3 monitors on 1 computer????

[Justin]

Sure can, as long as you have 3 outputs on your graphics card....or two separate graphics cards!
