What monitor size do you use? [New]

thideras · 04-21-12, 09:25 PM

This is to replace this one since the old one is a few years old.

Here you go!

One monitor
Two monitors
Three monitors
> four monitors
< 19"
20" - 23"
24" - 26"
27" - 29"
30" - 35"
36" - 49"
> 50"
Rock and chisel

Pics are ALWAYS wanted!

I'll be first

(When did Thid become a mod?)

Running two 23" E2311H monitors. Very nice for the price, and no dead pixels in either one. Colors aren't quite a perfect match, but a little calibration fixed it

LoganG · 04-21-12, 09:39 PM

I use my 42" LCD TV atm, once my daughter turns twelve we will be moving her into a bigger room and moving my son into her room, then it is time to turn his old room into my man cave where I will run a different setup, of course that is five years away.

My one Acer is 22" the newish one is 23" I love em both. Wish I bought 2 at the time cuz it went up in price :/

Twiggz · 04-21-12, 11:15 PM

Right now im using just one Acer H233H 23" widescreen.

hafa · 04-21-12, 11:41 PM

One Sharp SHARP LC32LE700UN 32" 1080P AQUOS. Full-array LED backlight and the clearest monitor I've ever had the privilege to use, TV or otherwise:

mbentley · 04-22-12, 07:29 PM

I have two monitors: an Asus 24" VW246H and a Sony 17" SDM-S74.

You should use Synergy to connect the mouse/keyboard of those two systems.

mbentley · 04-23-12, 06:27 AM

I would but I use the secondary for while I am playing games or whatever. A majority of the time when I am not playing games or anything like that, I am using Windows 7 with both screens. Also, I don't have X start at boot because that would just be wasteful

joshhua5 · 04-23-12, 07:16 AM

23" but I have three of them.

markp1989 · 04-23-12, 04:23 PM

I have deal 22" acers, I just mounted them on a dual screen stand so now both the screens line up perfectly.

Even though multi monitor stands can be a bit pricey they really improve the feel of the work area, as when it was just 2 screens standing on a desk they would always end up out of line, having them mounted in a screen stops me from acidently missaligning them, I have had multi monitor set ups since 2007 and since adding the stand yesterday this is the first time a dual screen set up has felt complete. I plan to adjust the stand to make the screens a bit higher but over all I am very happy with it.

I have just ordered UK Filco Majestouch-2, Tenkeyless, NKR, Click Action, Keyboard which should get here soon, probably going to replace the trackball with something more fancy later on.

jameseboy · 04-23-12, 04:34 PM

asus VW242H & samsung SyncMaster 2494hs

need to get a new stand for the pair of them.

thideras · 04-24-12, 08:21 PM

Here is my current setup. Not sure if I want to change them, add more, or leave them. 2x 24" BenQ Q2400w monitors. This picture is a bit old. The only difference is that my computer is in many parts and there is a lot of random computer parts and tools all over my desk, which will get cleaned up when I feel like it.

Railgun · 04-27-12, 06:38 AM

Dell 2711 in the middle.
Samsung 204Bs flanking both sides in portrait.

95blackz26 · 04-29-12, 02:45 PM

i voted 3 monitors

2 dell ST2220L's and 1 LG L203WTX.... the dell's run at 1920x1080 and the LG runs at 1680x1050
quick pic with the phone

Soverntear · 05-02-12, 07:13 AM

in the last 4 months I've gone from a 14" lcd square to a 19" benq wide and finally the 21.5" samsung lcd i got from my work.

Reaver22 · 05-02-12, 11:58 AM

just one 24 inch dell ultra-sharp display I just surf and game on it I don't see a need for 2 monitors yet.

but that could change in the future never know.

Cyrix_2k · 05-06-12, 11:59 AM

Up to "four" now.

24" viewsonic main
19" BenQ T903 secondary
15" Gateway FPD1500 tertiary
50" Hitachi Ultravision Plasma TV/Monitor that I use on occasion.

And yes, they all run at the same time.

mjw21a · 05-08-12, 11:55 PM

How do I change my vote. I recently moved to a nice new 27" Yamakasi Catleap Q270 SE IPS display.

Loving it
