Echilon Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 37" 1920x1080 Seems like a low resolution for a panel that size. I have a 17" widescreen LCD that runs at 1920x1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstantinos Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 its a LCD TV not a purpose built pc monitor. hence the lower resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeskow Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) its a LCD TV not a purpose built pc monitor. hence the lower resolution. I have the LVM37w3 version. Actually it is a purpose built PC monitor. Westinghouse lists it under their "Monitor" section. and 1920x1080 w/ a 8ms response time, is not a low resolution. the only screen (other than laptops) that has higher is the Dell 2407 (1920x1200) 3007 & Apple Cinema @ 2560x1600. the Westinghouse has 1000:1 contrast ratio wich is far better than either Apple or Dell (700:1), plus its 1080P HDTV capable w/ PIP. Games look amazing! and has 2 DVI slots 1 D-sub and 1 HDMI etc. and you don't need $1000 in video cards to run games. I'd rather have the multi purpose Westinghouse anyday.

I imagine he is talking about his "LAPTOP". in any case you know and I know he doesn't have a 17" LCD monitor @1920x1200. they don't exsist.

The Angry Bunny Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 http://noobswithcomputers.piczo.com/ :whistle: So having an optical driving on a carpet makes me a noob? Please take my picture off of your site. Sorry... not trying to bring up old topics but Cephas asked you to take the picture off the site, and it's still on... I do believe it should be removed as he requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echilon Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Just set this up quickly this morning, since I had nothing better to do with this monitor: a Nintendo DS-style dual-screen setup. My laptop's display is used primarily for widgets, and I use the 19" Dell monitor for most of my real stuff. Nice setup. I tried using my PPC screen for widgets once, but the novelty wore off after half an hour ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konstantinos Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 based on uk law, the photo was taken by Cephas and hence he owns the copyright on it by law. thus he can request it be removed with the threat of legal action. assuming he can prove he took the photo. secondly, Cephas could bring legal action based on the slanderous nature of the website. he could claim that being called a 'noob' is slander and seek compensation. so overall Cephas has plenty of ammo on this one.

Inertia Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Jason He. You have the tidy desk of the year award wrapped up!! Im embarressed to post my desk, id look stupid :blush: a lot of people tidy up theri workstation and make it as neat, wire-free and clean as possible before posting. Half of them look unused, I know I tidy mine up a bit, but often there is paperwork / media / mugs / etc all ove rmy desk because i spend more time working and playing than I do tidying up. This is also the reason I dont often post, because i dont get chance to get it looking nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolvi Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Most HDTV's don't have tuners anyways. You saying my 52" RP LCD isn't a TV either? He was being technical. Television. Without tuner there isn't the "tele" part. With only vision left, which functions as a monitoring device thus the name monitor. There're many types of monitors, or should we say tasks. Most commonly one is PC which we call computer monitor. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also the reason I dont often post, because i dont get chance to get it looking nice. Which is exactly the reason I haven't posted my new rig yet... besides that I'm waiting for some more LED fans to make it brighter. (ModStream fan isn't that bright). I was thinking about cathodes, but those seem even cheesier than LEDs. So yea, maybe if i stop being lazy, I'll clean and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exanimas Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Your PC-65B would look a lot better without LEDs or Neons :no: But that's why i got the window! People can't properly appreciate my hardware unless it's well lit. Maybe I'll grab some white lights, but I hear those aren't usually that bright. Edit: it also already has a light from my PSU's fan. It's not really that bright though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrogers Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Here's my slightly reconfigured workstation. I just got the old Dell 20" today from a friend for $50 :D It's color reproduction sucks so I'm not going to use it for graphics work or anything like that on any of my PCs -- I'll stick with my 1901fps, thank you -- but it's going to do TV/Xbox Media Center duties (watching 24 season 5 right now) and it works great for that. Putting a couple shots in different lighting because I suck at photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
