Very nice! Would be even nicer if you had a matching one the other side

Yeah, that was the original plan. I've paid for 3 2007FP's in total and only received 1 though, so I'm calling it quits. Got the extra VESA arm and graphics card sitting here for nothing

edit: Got Ultramon back on now, proper taskbars on each screen

Am I right in guessing that people are sticking cathodes behind their screens to make blacks look blacker, or is it customisation for the sake of it?

*Bigger iris, shift the dynamic contrast into a higher illumination-suited range

To be honest it’s all about the light, maybe it does not look it in the photos, but the blue lights are all I use for light in that room and when it’s dark (night) its all that needed. The light comes under the lcd (just enough) and lights up the desk area and the light over the top and sides look damn good.

It’s a mood thing also for me, I like the colour blue and on bright white walls (like I have in the office) it looks good and sets a working mood for me.

I've got a small blue fluorescent tube behind my desk, plugged into a wallsocket. It's not about the light people, it's about the glow! I love lighting effects. I think they can really make something. Hell I even like undercar neons ( will never get any though ), it's just a shame their reputation has been tainted by the chavs.

I live for a Sci-Fi world and if there's one thing that will make a desk, car, room, building or even a city more Sci-Fi then it's lighting effect.

It can also, as Sickboy said, be quite relaxing.

This is my setup, only just bought the 2407 and I am wallmounting it, but I am also in the process of rasing money for a new build I have a new desk there also, the second computer to the left but this is a bog standard dell small form factor for working from home when I can, it runs an offical copy of vista business from work.

hey switch - what kinda plug arrangement is that running round the wall ?

Is it just me or is your 2407 leaning to the right quite a bit,

Has this issue not been fixed yet ?

It could just be his head is naturally tilting to the right

LG 42LC2D 42 inch'er on the wall.
2x Hitachi CML174 (will these things ever die?!?!) on custom desk dual mount.

Only got the LG and Xbox before Christmas and haven't had a chance yet to tidy up all the messy cables

His head would have to tilt to the left

Update on my last post.

Smack my bitch up (smile)

Why do you need 4 displays? How many PCs do you have?

tsinc80697 · 23 Jan 2007 at 12:36

i just have a wonky head, well its the floor, makes my chair wonky and therefore me!

Well then...settle the argument, is your head tilting to the left or right?

(only kidding) We're just jealous. Nice setup you have there m8ty. Just a bit upset you've gone down the Mac OSX route

/me *phones Bill Gates about a non-conformist*

Are you only using a MAC OS on the 24" and the other two are windows setups?

tsinc80697 · 23 Jan 2007 at 15:35

The left and right screens are on the PC only
The Dell 24" is DVI to the macbook and VGA to PC, so i can just press a button to swap between main desktop !

Changed it around a bit so that my mouse is on the macbook and wacom tablet is on the pc, means i get to use the wacom more as i need to get used to it anyway, and i have a mouse for the 1920*1200 scrolling on OSX

and i never sit upright anyway, always slanted on an arm rest so i couldn't tell which way my head is leaning

mainly right tho

That sounds pretty impressive. I want a tablet PC too - have long have you used it for? I really need to get used to using one of them too. I have to as my job requirement will make sure I will very soon this year. During my hayday at uni - I helped develop some collaboration tools in linux wacom .( http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ )

and i never sit upright anyway, always slanted on an arm rest so i couldn't tell which way my head is leaning mainly right tho

Aha! I was correct the head does tilt to the right

tsinc80697 · 23 Jan 2007 at 17:33

only got it for Christmas from the girlfriend, its only a small A6 one as i thought there was no point getting a £300 if i couldnt get to grips with it!

Its really strange at first, but ive been using it all day today just for navigating through websites and around my desktop. Just takes time getting it to feel comfortable in your hand really.
Theres 2 modes on it, pen and mouse. Mouse mode is the one i use as u cant get to grips with pen yet.
Pen is where if you put the pen middle of the tablet, it goes middle of your screen, and top of the tablet is top of the screen, and i find it too sensitive!
Whereas mouse mode you just move it around like a mouse having to pick it up and put back down when you run out of tracking space.

Definitely worth getting one tho if you're in the multimedia area, been starting to draw with it aswell as i need to for a uni project i picked, its hard, yet easier than a mouse!
Only downside to the lower model ive found is that there are no drivers for Mac, otherwise id be having more fun on that!

When I am working from home, I work on my PC.

And I use all four most of the time, Photoshop on one, Flash, preview screen and sometimes I have the news on in the background. I like to view the markets sometimes and also keep up-to-date with current affairs. (always have work of some sort on all four screens)

Sometimes I could do with another two screens.

I have a home network, but the four screens you see in the pics are all linked up to one PC, its just pure multi-tasking.

I am an IT Security Consultant in the real world.

That pc has 4000GIG of HD space - 4 GiG of RAM - 7800GTX x2 - AMD x2 Core, She’s a beast and I love her.

My setup with my new 2007WFP. Won't be my setup for much longer though as Im in the process of buying a house. Once that is sorted I'll post some pictures of that.

Why does your printer look like it's screaming in horror?
