out with the old, in with the new. :)

gay. get a mac.

nice, how much ?

Macs are for flaming homos. There's no place for one here.

Not so little gem.

Looks good Amp, Apple also has a pretty cool monitor...it's about the only thing that is worth a shit :Graucho

Congrats on the promotion to adult.com....

This is FADE by the way...it's been awhile

Hehe one minute you are losing your house and your wife living on the beach -- next minute you got a job with Lensman and a 24" monitor :)

long time no see! How ya been man?

funny what can change in a week huh.... hehehe

CRT technology. That is sooooo 1990?s.:Graucho

fucking swoit!

haha :1orglaugh

CRTs give far better clarity than LCDs... so for me, CRT is still the shiznit.

How much? :glugglug I am looking for a bigger screen..19" is too small

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

I think Sony advertises $1999... I got it for a little less, but with shipping to the islands, it evened out right around $1900.

Hmmm... so this is like a semi-flat CRT?

Good deal :thumbsup ..with our Canadian peso..prolly around $2700. :(

from Sony:

24? Flat Trinitron CRT wide screen display

Nice. Really nice... but...

I can put mine in a bag and be totally mobile in less than 2 minutes ;)

That just means so much to me :)

that's cool, if you actually go places..... my notebook has done nothing but collect dust since May of 1999. I never go anywhere.

nice

Should of gotten one of these

21 in LCD, but then again u design so CRT is better...

Close price too, its like 3000 canadain so more or less the same what u paid...

Next on the agenda is to replace the monitors for the rest of the systems here with standard LCDs.... only use 'em for menial tasks so perfect image clarity isn't a priority on those, and space is more valuable. Time for a Costco run... hehehe

nice... but what is that shit on the sides? Speakers? I hate built in speakers. I'm running a full on external Bose audio system here. (just for the office... the rest of the house has a better system) Monitors with speakers hanging off them are gay.

Ya, I think you could cut them off somehow lol

thanks for hooking me up with the link for this screen bro... (you know who you are) Should get here sometime next week.... and none too soon. :thumbsup


Have a good long holiday weekend everyone.... I'm gonna grab da board and go catch a wave or two..... :)

The images you create and view on this monitor will be excellent I am sure, but remember, you will be the only person on the internet that will be able to enjoy them with such clarity because the rest of us live in the real world.:)

that's fine.... the electronic dumbing down of work via poor equipment for the end user is acceptable... but creating in a shit environment from stage 1 as a justification for what you just said, is not.

I'll still take the big ass monitor thanks... :winkwink:

I don't see how a CRT is better than a LCD in designing.

My Samsung LCD beats both my Trinitron and NEC/Multisync CRTs.

ur kiddin right? im sure macs look nice, but they are for completely computer retarded individuals.

this is only 3000 canadian???
where??
:Graucho

Last I checked, LCD's can't reach true black...

It is a popular misconception that buying better equipment will improve the quality of your work.:)

please do explain how that is a 'misconception'?

you're saying I can do just fine on a 386 with a 12" black and white monitor?

so a '73 Ford pickup converted to a flatbed with some homemade wooden side rails is just as good as an '04 FreightLiner I suppose....

no need for pnuematic jackhammers..... just grab a chisel and a Vaughn.

Auto paint booths?! Why spend money on that.... spray paint is hella cheap.

Plumbers? Bah..... coathangers are much cheaper.

Why pay good money for CDs..... my cousin can sing.

Fuck paying for food at the grocery store.... I'll just eat the neighbors cat.

More analogies please.

why spend perfectly good money on a hot chick when you can fuck a skank.

You think I BUY toothpaste when natural is clearly the way to go?

Banks? Bah.... a big wool sock in the mattress is the solution.

We don't need a military... we'll just hire a guy to deny everything to the last minute like Iraq did.

dude... i said analogies.

A wheel?? I don't need no stinking wheel.... I'll just drag my stuff.

Why wipe your ass if it'll just get dirty again?

I am finding your off topic analogies a little confusing, but here goes *takes a deep breath*.

You are saying the quality of your work will improve if you?

Sell your 40 GB drive and buy a 60 GB drive.

Sell your 2 GHz proc. And buy a 2.5 GHz proc.

Sell your 17? monitor and buy a 24? monitor.

Sell your 750W ups and buy a 1000W ups.

Sell your 5 Mega pixel Camera and buy a 6 Mega pixel Camera.

Sell your stereo speakers and buy quad speakers.

If this is what you believe then I respect your choice of monitor and whish you productive days and nights with it.:thumbsup

It's all about the tools. Does a Sanyo Walkman with ear units sound as good as a full Middle Atlantic rack system, Denon THX pushing Krell monoblocks? I don't think so. My analogies may be a little extreme, but you get the idea. Will a 24" monitor improve my audio mixing abilities? Probly not. Will it help me define cleaner image cuts? Maybe.

I now understand where you are coming from. I am off to buy some of the same golf sticks that Tiger Woods uses and make millions. Can you find me the addresses of some Hawaiian real estate companies because it looks like I will need their services soon. Thanks in advance.:2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents:

No, I don't think you do understand where I'm coming from, in the least. And your attempt at sarcasm is weak at best. My gut is telling me that you're probably very early 20's (if that) and you lack the ability to recognize how better quality tools improve upon the work output. But you'll learn.... eventually. It may take 15 years, but you'll learn.

And if you ever are in the market for Hawaiian real estate (or anywhere else for that matter), I can help you with that. Of course it'll take 6 months to process your loans because this company didn't feel that improved tools would help them improve their work, so they're still adding figures on an abacus. Who needs computers anyway right? :)

Idiot.

If you would like to improve your psychic reading abilities may I suggest a crystal ball? Not one of those lame glass things but a ball made from meteorite shock quartz, this will improve your super natural abilities for sure.:)

A 24" kickass monitor wouldn't do me any good when it comes to design, that is true.

But for a full time designer who's pretty damn good, it would probably help.

So better tools don't necessarily mean better work, but better tools in the right hands probably would.

*shrugs*

I only use the lame glass model. It works just fine. I don't see how the meteorite model can possibly improve upon it.

nah Amp doesn't need to sell to buy the new shit. He just gives it to the neighborhood kids to play with because he KNOWS WHAT HE"S FUCKING DOING! You gotta love the newbie morons that haven't a clue what people's abilities are. If Amp says his designs will be better (not sure how he can improve on damn near perfect) then they will be because Amp knows his schitz.
