anthony.spina97 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Probably going to add two screens to my desktop. Anybody see any deals out there?Look at the new Dell 27" 4k Monitor that they revealed at CES. I believe it is only 800 dollars or so, which sounds expensive, but if you consider that the only other 4k monitor on the market is like, 3200 dollars, then it suddenly sounds like a great deal. -Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I want to goto a dual display is so when I am doing my school work I can view multiple windows at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I want to goto a dual display is so when I am doing my school work I can view multiple windows at a time. I have one of the Yamakasi 27" 1440 monitors and believe me, with win 7 and the snapping of windows, there is no need for another unless you are looking at adding a tv.

Fraydog Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Also remember that a lot of 4K monitors out there can't even support 4K at 60p. IIRC HDMI 1.4 is needed for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centermedic Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 What kind of screen do you have now? Also, what's your price range? -Anthony 17 inch w/ 16:10 ratio. I can go up to 300 total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony.spina97 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 17 inch w/ 16:10 ratio. I can go up to 300 total. Then my recommendation is to get maybe a 20-30 inch 1080p LCD TV, you can get one for less than 300 bucks pretty much anywhere, and for even cheaper if you buy an off-brand TV. Use the 17 inch for reading things or instructions for what you need to do, and use the TV for what you are doing. I have a 24 inch Dell monitor and a 39 inch Seiki 1080p TV, and I got the TV for 279 in 2012. I used my PC for my computer programming class and used the 24 inch for reading and watching tutorials while working on the coding on my 39 inch. I love the setup. -Anthony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREND Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Is it the one made by Seiki? -Anthony Yes. But it lacks inputs like the DP and mini-DP otherwise i would have been all over it. Besides, i have to wait for my 46" black friday plasma to die first before i go the 4K route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we can always dream -Anthony I think Vizio will have on here soon enough in that size. Saw it on youtube i believe. If not them, then LG or Sony or Samsung are not far behind. 17 inch w/ 16:10 ratio. I can go up to 300 total. Newegg has a few asus/viewsonic 21" for under 150. Get two of those at 1080p and you're at your budget. Otherwise, look for those 21:10 screens. They're interesting, but just not the same as a 2560X1440 screen.

mrknowitall526 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Has anyone see this stellar deal? http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN85S9-85-Inch-Ultra-120Hz/dp/B00CMEN95U/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top The reviews are quite hilarious. Apparently the "thing" to do right now is write really amusing Amazon product reviews. Look up "Haribo sugar free gummy bears" and enjoy the laughter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 There's 250 of those sets in the world, and 1,436 product reviews on Amazon. Reminds me of a scandal back when I lived at Tahoe. There is a community at the lake called Incline Village. There was a controversial tax increase for schools on the ballot that would have disproportionately raised the rates on wealthy homeowners at Incline than the rest of Washoe County. Most Incline residents were against it. On Election Day, the tax increase fails by a narrow margin. It was discovered that in Incline Village, over 12,000 ballots were cast. Too bad the entire village population was about 9,500. Every man, woman and child. And many of those people could not even vote legally. Any time there was any perceived Shenanigans in an election thereafter, it was referred to as the "Incline Effect."

If your total is $300, then you can get either one of these 1920 x 1080 monitors... 2 Dell ST2210B 21.5" 1920x1080 $99.00 (good reviews) or 2 Acer G226HQL 21.5" $116.55 (reviews) or 2 Samsung EX2220X 21.5" 1920x1080 $130.00 (good Reviews) Or whatever you feel is best on the selection page on Amazon, And depending if your graphic adapter can handle the dual monitor set up you are good to go, if not then you may need to get two of these Plugable usb 2.0 to vga/dvi graphic adapters (I have these) my two Asus monitors connected to my Sony Flip TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centermedic Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ended up getting a 27 inch AOC from Tiger Direct for $190. Thanks for the suggestion. This is great. Now I have to get a bigger desk so i can sit three feet away from the monitor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
