Dell has put their UltraSharp U3011 on sale for $999 CDN a few times lately; so just over 1k with taxes.

If I mostly 8-10 table, is a 30in overkill?

no

Anyone in here with video editing experience?

I run a PC with Win 7 ultimate and need to get video editing software to do a contract job adding in subtitles and statistics frames to training videos.

I have done similar work in the past but it's been several years and there's been huge leaps in technology since then.

So sick it's $1,600 AUD though bastards.

got a question : will http://www.laptopsreviewprice.com/20...10-laptop.html be sufficient for 15-20 tables grind (sngs on pokerstars) + TN + HEM + browser and things like winamp, movie player ? i know its far from ideal, (after reading this entire thread) but wondering if ill be able to grind without laggs and spikes, before i get my hands on something more pro? thank you.

Anyone know what kind of backpack I need to buy that will fit a 17" ASUS G73 laptop? I just ordered an Everki Beacon after doing a little research but I'm just wondering if anyone else has this machine and a bag it fits in that can confirm.

edit: Also, was buying the G73 as a desktop replacement for grinding a good idea in the first place? It's refurbished from Newegg.

Why doesn't anyone use the Apple 27''? Too small for the resolution? I was thinking of replacing my 2x24'' 1920x1200 with 2x27'' but they might end up being too small for the resolution?

Ugh if only there would be decent huds for Macs

i use it with an iMAc, but rather buy a normal, matte 30" + windows computer.

They're so much more expensive than the Apple Monitors and they seem worse in specs. In plus I don't think I would like 2x30'' rather than 2x27'' ...

i def prefer 2x 30" then 2 times 27... ainec

hey guys,

currently have this laptop: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16834220697

wondering if I can run the dell ultrasharp u3011 at its full resolution on this laptop?

thanks

nope

thanks marek, any suggestions on a good desktop that will? I only need it for the basics + poker

thanks again

most desktops will or can be arranged to, you need a displayport and a good enough graphics card. 90%+ notebooks dont have displayport, only macbooks, highend dells and HPs I think do

For a desktop you just need dual link dvi, the majority of desktops will come with it these days and is a fairly cheap video card upgrade otherwise

20% off this week... AUD$1359

Ultimately looking into getting a new computer to run one of these dell 30's. Has anybody had any experience with this monitor? Is it worth it, and are there better alternatives... I haven't been able to find much out there in the realm of 30's.

Thanks

Can someone please recommend for me the best, fastest, reasonably priced Toshiba laptop w/ 17.3 inch screen?
The most expensive one I can find is like $1600 but obv that does not mean it's the best...

What I need it for: I have 2nd flat screen, run 3-4 browser windows w/ 5-10 tabs each simultaneously, plus itunes, skype, aim, etc...

bump

dell 30s are awesome

I mean if you just run a few browsers, plus skype etc I doubt you need an expensive laptop.
Reminds me of this.

What to choose: Sony Vaio "15,5 or Acer Timeline X "15,6 or some Dell machine with "17,3?

If by Dell u mean something out of their business lineup ie Precision ones, go with one of them.
If not ie u mean some of their customer-crap, ur prolly better off w a Vaio.

I had a disgusting situation over the weekend where I had to set up a PC to go with 2 x 30" Dell monitors, the graphics card I had was the Radeon 7970 which had 1 x DVI-D, 1 x HDMI, 2 x Mini DP.

It wasn't originally the card I wanted to use as it doesn't have 2 x DVI-D but it said it comes with adapters for HMDI to DVI and Mini-DP to DVI so I figured that'll be OK.

The plan was to have both monitors do 2560 x 1600 but that didn't happen! Only one of the monitors getting a very crisp 2560 x 1600 as it was plugged in with DVI-D whilst the other one was going at 1600 x 1200 when I used DP mini to DVI adapter.

When I used the HMDI to DVI adapter it would reach 1920 x 1080 which wasn't good as the aspect ratio was screwed, I then got a HDMI cable to plug it to go 1920 x 1200. Against it wasn't acceptable.

When I plugged in a 30" Apple monitor via the mini DP port (it required a USB too) it displayed 2560 x 1600 with no problems.

I know the graphics card isn't the issue so it looks like I just need to get a mini DP to Display Port from Amazon and the misery will be over.

Very surprised the adapters limit the output to 1600 x 1200, if I wanted that resolution I'd buy a few 20" monitors lol.

I have to say, 3 x 30" Monitors is sick!
