What to do with...

apart from actually watching movies on, I actaully find widescreen
format PC monitors annoying to use. I expect it's just a "get used to
it thing", mind.

On a related note - does anyone make really big monitors i.e.
something like a 42" TV with DVI/HDMI input but without the actual
tuner gubbins i.e. something big, but very flat?

 

I doubt it. The big flat TVs are cheaper than smaller monitors already -
and no higher resolution. 1080p's 1920x1080, and very few monitors go
higher than that.

 

I love the 24" one I've had for the last year or so. It's invaluable
for working on multiple documents at the same time, which is what I've
been doing a lot of, collating business requirements and comments,
etc. over the last few months. The ability to get two full A4 size
pages on the screen next to each other is totally pos.

OK - that makes (economic) sense. The closest I have found is a 42" TV
that has the tuner circuitry in a seperate STB, but it's pretty
expensive.

Possibly I should bite the bullet and have it in-wall recess-mounted
rather than on-wall mounted.

 

oh sure. Which is why (here at work) I have two 4:3 19" flatscreens in
front of me.

 

The only exception I found...

Personally, as near to 180 at possible.

heh.

For me, I tried the "normal" res 22" screens and found that the
resolution wasn't high enough. At work and home I have/had a 19" CRT
running at 1600x1200, so when I lost the vertical resolution and only
gained 80 in width, it just seemed pants.

So that was swapped out for the higher res 24" screen but had the
limited viewing angle which is typical of a TN panel. The colours were
all over the place depending on which part of the screen was being
looked at, giving an inconsistent image across the screen. I also found
it "too big", much to the amusement of some on here.

So I ummed and ahhed and eventually played with a 24" SPVA panel, which
was so much nicer, but still too big. In the end, I forked out for the
Lenovo at home which I'm very pleased with.

 

Even the 15.4" laptop I'm using right now does 19 something by 12
something.

 

Agreed, let's move onto "Which oil is best for a bike" instead

Or just give it to Clarkson and company, then rent the DVD.

**** it. Can't take it with me.

OK, open Notepad and maximise it. Does the white (or whatever colour
you've set your window backgrounds to be) look the same across the whole
screen?

It didn't on the cheap POS that I had, and that made my eyes water. It's
not really the viewing angle per se, just that I don't seem to like TN
panels and they've got limited viewing angles. S-PVA panels are much
better at colour rendition etc and they have near 180 deg viewing. So the
viewing angle becomes a loose guideline of spec.

Fair enough. I remember going from that to 1600x1200 many many years ago,
and I've used it every since. Probably a bit set in my ways now. But
1920x1200 is nice too.

 

Whale oil. Beef hooked.

 

Probably just as well really.

 

Only 22" eh? Pah !!!



I got one of these.

22"? Now thats just getting silly.

You want a nice 12", enough for any man:-

My 24" jobbie is perfect in that respect, and apparently has a viewing
angle of 178deg

so I think you may be extrapolating from a single data point and
reaching a spurious conclusion.

track of the attribution

Cool. So you can use it while looking at it from 1deg off parallel with the
screen. And poor Champ can't use his less than 5deg off. How much time do
you spend looking at the edge of your monitor anyway?

 

OI! That wasn't me.

 

No, you've proved my point. Your monitor is nice, and has good colour
rendition. It has a wide viewing angle in both axes, so is likely to be
an S-PVA panel as opposed to a TN panel. What's spurious about that?
