Thats tasty, willlisac. Love that desk.

Wow, the 20" & 30" are a HUGE difference... I know it's obvious, but it looks huge!

It's true. I've now accustomed myself to the 30-inch, having used the 20-inch display for 9 months or so. When I saw a 20-inch the other day I couldn't help but wonder how I got anything done on that screen! It looked almost toy-like…

 

[vohdoun]

Sure thats a 20"? looks like a 23"

I think he knows what size his own monitor is:

[willlisac]

yeah its a 20" lol... it is dwarfed compared to the 30 but its nice to keep around to have all my crap on like my calendar and torrents lol

plus it comes in handy with aperture and final cut

post some more people, i like to see and get ideas

If that's a 23", I'd HATE to see it next to the 20" lol

I know! At school, I grew accustom to the 20" iMacs and I bought a 24" and even THAT makes the 20" seem small... I'd love a 30" screen, but I actually like the thought of 2 24"ers. I'm savin' for a Dell... Unless I find better.

 

[willlisac]

definitely do NOT get the gateway 24"... my original plan was to get that and a 24" imac and i saw them together upclose and it sucked so bad... the gateway washes and is fuzzy compared to the imac... definitely check on the dell... (or just wait for the next ACD revision since they will prob release a 24"er)

 

[wizwaz3]

Yeah, ACD revision may be my best bet overall. I've heard the Dell has the same panel, but the panel is only as good as the chip running it...

 

[willlisac]

wwdc is soon, just wait until then to see

 

[wizwaz3]

Definitely. I'm very excited for WWDC!

The panel dell uses is not always the same. It can either be an S-IPS or an S-PVA. Even within those two options, there are different model numbers of panels being used.

@willisac - i love the desk what is it? and its oh soo clean and looks great!

 

[willlisac]

thank you ...the desk was originally purchased from IKEA in seattle but from what I can tell they don't sell it anymore.. at least not on their site... it's something like an "architect desk" if I remember correctly

 

[wizwaz3]

The panel dell uses is not always the same.

You mean within their line? Methinks I'll wait until WWDC... Definitely.

@willlisac: If you ever see a for-sale link to that desk I want a link right away. Gorgeous desk! Gorgeous ACD's too.

 

[holamiamigos]

one day i will have one for myself =)

 

[willlisac]

ikea has a new version of it but not on their site... you can find them used though... it's called the "Jerker Desk" ..honestly there are entire websites dedicated to it haha

here is a used one though (not even in my area but i found it via google)

Willisac - one of my favorite set-ups ever posted in this thread

 

[JackArc]

Willisac - quick question: what mouse pad is that and where could i pick one up at?

 

[willlisac]

I am glad you asked. I have tried many-a-mousepads and this is the best one ever. There are two options, laser or optical, but this line is amazing because the pad grips to your desk and has like a height of .00000001 inches haha... its sick
