I May Have Fucked Up And Bought Too Large Of A Monitor ***PIC***
 

Seriously! I've been working with a Dell 24" widescreen LCD for a couple weeks now and I love it. I heard Dell just came out with a 30" model so I'm thinking "bigger is better", right? Anyway, it just came the other day and I'm seriously considering sending it back, it just seems a bit too overwhelming.

Anyone here recently upgrade to a 30" monitor? I'm wondering if it's just one of those things that may take a while to adjust to.

holy shit, what a beast :1orglaugh

if you want to get rid of the 30in lmk..I might be interested in buying it.

I have 4 20in flatpanels but need a new larger monitor for another computer.

they just did dual 30 inch monitors. Personally it seems like alot to me. But to each his own.

It looks fine to me, give it a week, you'll get used to it :)

Hmm I got the Gateway 21 inch and now it seems small to. I was considering the Westinghouse 37 inch, Id say to give it more time to get used to it. How much did you get it for?

damn i need two of those

i thought when I got my 50" plasma it'd rock using it as a monitor but its fucking hard work you have to move your head about all the time so I stick with 17 / 19" flatscreen for the pc

lol I have two 18's side by side the 30 would be kewl but even the 24 looks big enough.

No shit, thats overkill! now a 30 inch is a diffrent story.

How are they for console gaming?

PS2 xbox etc.

that is HUGE

Wow... thats cool :thumbsup

Send it to me and I'll mail you a 7" lcd. Thanks :)

Yeah, that's kinda what I'm thinking as well. I run 2 PC's at my desk and I'm constantly switching back and forth between them. Was going to go with a 30" for each of the PC's but I'm leaning toward 2 of the 24" monitors at this point. I think I'll give it a few more days to see if I adjust to it or not.

lol wayyyy too big

You want a Dell 30" Monitor??


YOU
CAN'T
HANDLE
A DELL 30" MONITOR!!!

Dude, you just need a bigger desk. LOL

Oh shit, I think you may have hit on something!

can you hang that monitor? if so why not put it in front of you on thast wall. Just a ideal...

Stop fullscreening your windows and you'll be fine. Personally I love having a lot of desktop space, but only because I tile all the windows next to each other.

Really don't know, didn't do any research on gaming performance since I'll only be using it for work. :winkwink:

I have the 24" next to a 20" and have been thinking about getting the 30".

What video card will push a 30"? do I need to cards to push two 30" ?

Thanks

For max performance and resolution it requires a "dual-link DVI". I'm using 2 - 256MB GeForce 7800GTX cards with SLI. That being said I also hooked it up to one of my older PC's that has a single 256MB AGP card and it really didn't seem to look that much different on the older PC, a bit more detectable "graininess" but not too bad.

Looks good to me Jake :)

looks a little out of place there

I was looking at those on the Dell site the other day. I got all excited and started to drule just a little bit.

I wouldn't be sending that back.

Oh common man up and keep it

Two 30's? Dude what the fuck are you doing aerial cartography using Google Earth or something??

whoah. instead of using eye glasses, you might need a telescope. :winkwink:

as long as GFY is on your computer screens, cell phones and anything else that will access the net......your good to go

I like it though

Some guy here on GFY got two of those 30" Dells for one pc

I would say way too big unless you are giving a presentation. :)

wow. that's a movie house screen.

bigger is better!

Hey Jake.. can I ask, and hopefully not be rude- why do I keep seeing threads about guys buying Dell monitors?
These are samsung monitors rebranded and repriced! Is there something special I;m missing?

wow, that's pretty nice. It would take a little while to get used to but once you do a 19' monitor will look weird to you. LOL Nice :)

i like dual better, the way sites and other stuff is optimized when you have the window maximized its just way too much.

Those would be awesome for online poker.
If you play 4-8 tables at a time you know what I mean.

I Fully agree with the above, a large screen area is no benefit if your only going to fill it with the one window.

Just lower the resolution to 640x480 and you're coo

They look cool and but unless your editing feature motion pictures you really dont need all that monitor screen.

If you do a lot of video editing, especially HD, a very large dual monitor setup is nice.

Otherwise, I'm thinking overkill... but that's just me :)

Very nice monitor jake looks good

Got damn yoooooooooooooooooo
Makes mine look like peanuts

damn big ballers. i got "A" 17in. i was considering the big 19in though. :1orglaugh

Personally I prefer to work with a pair of smaller same size monitors (17 or 19"). I wouldn't be able to work on two different size screens nor a 30" screen so close to me...

it'll grow on you, once the 40" comes out you'll feel like Juicy does now. lol

I want a 24" to hook my laptop up to, so if you go dual 30" i call dibs on your 24, lol


looking at samsung I cant see any monitor that looks like the dells, I cant even find a 24 or 30" monitor.
Maybe I just suck at looking.... But I think you mean they use samsung technologies?
