My '85 camaro still has a trans leak and runs perfect at the track. Just make sure you fill it up haha.

My BMW has a leak too, but that is not the point. It is a brand new car, it should not leak anything.

I'm not too happy. In order to keep working from home, I have to be ABLE to work from home. Nobody really wants me to work from home so I'm really on my own as far as internet connection and suitable PC are concerned. Now that I am developing HD content I need a monitor that can do 1920x1080 at least. My 20" dell 2005FPW can only do 1680x1050. I did some research and I find out my dell LCD is an IPS panel type, as well as my macbook, as well as my apple monitor at work, etc. I find out the windows monitor at work is TN panel type. It looks like hell and always has. TN 24" 1920x1080 monitors are a nice $175. IPS 24" 1920x1200 monitors are $550.... crap... But TN panels are pretty terrible for graphics work.

And either I spend $175 on a monitor to potentially be miserable with performance or I spend $550 and I am parted with $550... Either way I lose somewhat.

Yeah, IPS panel tech just hasn't come down in price sadly.

phate1229 · 10-07-2009, 03:54 PM

I've got a monitor you can borrow, I think it's till good at least case is pretty scuffed up though, 20 inch 1920x1080, you need a way to mount it though it was previously up on a dual monitor mount so I lost the feet for it

grimm · 10-07-2009, 04:00 PM

well if you need one, then go with a good TN panel and then hopefully you can save some money and when prices come down purchase an IPS one.
I have 3 NEC multisync LCD2470WVX they were on the cheap end (comparatively) and they are ok. They put off a lot of heat. They are not as good as the 21" NEC's i have at my other station but they do the job for me. I think they were around $300 or so each?

bam! $300

piku · 10-07-2009, 04:06 PM

Man that's E-IPS and 300nit too. Nice find... I guess I have to go non-dell branded then. I wanted something that kinda matched my 20" monitor but I guess it doesn't matter.

Elliott18t · 10-07-2009, 04:07 PM

i like viewsonics personally. or i would go with acer.

jpalamar · 10-07-2009, 04:09 PM
