LED Monitors Kick Arse

[Anthony Parsons]

As a person with bad eye sight I can tell you that I completely agree. Amazing screens.

Oh yer... contacts and glasses worn here. Clarity is everything for me...

The 27" iMac has external display plug : Mini Displayport
The external 27" Mac display will support this.

So for those mac knowledgeable (as I have only entered mac)... when I get my new 27" i7 imac, can that then run as a dual monitor with the 27" LED Cinema display? Can an imac become a split display like that?

I dubt you will be able to use 2*27" screens... at least, i would find it hard.

Sure but i mean.. 27"... my biggest tv have the same size. I've an iMac 27 right in front of me... having 2 of these to look would make me crazy!

I have twin 22" screens in front of me right now.... twin 27" screens isn't that much bigger. They are excellent for design work.

I'm looking to get 2 or 3 more 24" screens for my desk.... not quite 27" I know, but it's gonna be nice

I think twin 27" screens would look a lot bigger, but in real cm measurements, would probably be not. I want to try a nice screen that can go vertical. I've seen them in action, and they work wonders when doing programming work. (IIRC, Kier has one of these.)

Kier has 2 of them IIRC

Wait until you get into the big screens then... 50" plus. Gives a whole new meaning to watching TV in bed on a 50"+ screen. Lounge room as well.

In fact that 27" is an old but great sony analogic tv. I will invest some money on huge tvs as soon as i will want to play MGS4 on the ps3

They are 16:9 not 16:10. There's a different. It's not like 2x 30" 4:3 or something.

Yer, I was looking at Kiers that he posted elsewhere in vertical... I can see they would be much nicer for stacking all those smaller programs, FTP, putty, clients, etc.

 

[Floris]

That's what I have sometimes,

PURE HAWTNESS!

Would be nice to have that vertical movement actually compared to....

Can't really see, but 226BWs? I'm sitting in front of one too. Pretty nice screens when they came out, but kinda getting old now. I want to get myself a nice IPS-based screen (I can dream too, you know... )

Mirrors are the best for crispness. I believe they are still working on getting more on per chip, but once they do they will most likely replace LEDs. Mirrors require very little power, switches so fast that there is no bluriness due to light trails.
