3/6     Anyone have good experience with any rackmount LCD vendors?
        Paying $1200 for the average 15" 1024x768 rackmount LCD is
        a bit stupid. -=Aubie
        \_ For a server room?  Get a dinky 9-12" vga monitor.
        \_ We have some 15"'s CRTs for like $25. Though I know it's
           all about image... --scotsman
                \_ too big, not enuff rez.
                        \_ 640x480 vga.  How much do you need for a shell?
        \_ We have some 15"'s CRTs for like $25. --scotsman
                \_ everyone's got those. I gotta specific space issue.
        \_ 15 inch 1024x768 rack mount lcd.  not crt.  not 640x480. not 9"
                \_ a bit fussy.
                \_ Not fussy, specific need.

           http://www.dell.com/us/en/biz/topics/products_rck_pedge_004_rack.htm
        \_ Dude, just disconnect the back and hang it up. Most LCD panels
           (even the $500, and maybe the $300, ones allow this)
           Who the fuck pays $1200 for any 15" device?
           \_ Wanna know what yermom paid for a 15" device?

8/16    I just left my employer. They didn't ask to get their HW back.

11/11   I want a home nas so my laptops aren't always running out of space,
        what's a good buy?
        \_ I did a bunch of research and ended up with Dlink DNS-321. It
           is newer than DNS-323 with less problems. It doesn't have as

7/16    Is there a website that lists the most senior friendly laptops?
        This would be for someone in their 80's with vision issues and

The space-saving benefits (2U retractable versus 9-11U) of flat panel monitors can be achieved without having to sacrifice viewable image size or performance. Performance High resolution of 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz supports most commonly used resolution for traditional CRT customers. It also offers 800 x 600 @ 85 Hz and 640 x 480 @ 85 Hz to support most major resolutions. TFT active matrix screen guarantees a flicker-free picture that is brighter, more vibrant and sharper in focus than a CRT monitor. Using three transistors for each pixel, active matrix produces a high quality display and eliminates the problems associated with passive matrix LCD screens. Improved picture quality is achieved through the elimination of the variation in convergence, magnetic field and poor geometry. Side-to-side wide-angle viewing displays a quality picture even when the user is not directly in front of the monitor. Specifically, the monitor supports quality viewing at angles of 120 horizontally and 105 vertically. Flat panels without this film lose contrast and picture quality at wide angles. Ergonomic Design Intuitive, 3 button On-Screen Display (OSD) is conveniently located on the front of the monitor, making screen adjustments easy. A wide array of adjustments can be made, including contrast, brightness, vertical/horizontal position, clock, clock phase, clock fine, language selection, power saver, mode display, serial number, full screen, and factory reset. Compaq-unique LiteSaver (timer function) in the OSD is one of the management functions. It turns the monitor off at a specific time and returns it to full power later. This feature is designed to prolong the life of the backlights. Multilingual On-Screen Display gives a visual illustration of adjustments to be made, allowing for quick and easy custom adjustments. Microprocessor-based, intelligent scanning allows for modes, size, and centering to be adjusted and saved. There are 12 factory-preset modes and four user-programmable modes. Protective front panel offers protection to screen, eliminating the fear of puncture from a pen or other object. LCD Display Assistant provides quick steps that aid in fine-tuning the display to optimize performance. This eliminates the need to guess at the settings to provide the best front-of-screen performance.
