Interesting links and notes on updates to my main website.

So a 17" LCD goes for about $750 now.
I have a new thinking about computers. I think they are fast enough.
I think you now get more benefit from more screen realestate.
Either one big monitor or two monitors side-by-side.

There's an interesting thing in LCDs though. They seem to get stuck at 1280x1024. Nothing above that until a very small number of 20"+ that do 1600x1200.

Witness:
Dell 15" LCD E152FP (I have the older model, the E151FP): 1024x768
Dell 17" LCD (highend) 1703FP: 1280x1024
Dell 18" LCD 1800FP: 1280x1024
Dell 19" LCD 1901FP: 1280x1024
even some of the 20" models stick at 1280x1024
Dell (USA) 20" 2001FP: 1600x1200

Apple 17" LCD: 1280x1024
Apple 20" LCD Cinema Display: 1680x1050
Apple 23" LCD Cinema Display: 1920x1200
The Apple Store Canada has it for $2800.

Dell USA lists one high-end model
Sony 23" LCD SDM-P232W/B: 1920x1200
SonyStyle.ca shows it instore only for $4900.

Dell USA also has a section on multi-screen monitors posted by Richard at 09:37 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
