Double Your Fun with DoubleSight

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the two-for-the-price-of-three dept.

Lothar writes "If you are looking for another reason to throw out that old CRT and upgrade to LCDs here it is. The DoubleSight DS-1900 packs two 19" LCD panels in a neat package and will take up less total space than that cathode ray tube whic has created the permanent bow in your desk. You will end up with 2560x1024 pixels of screen real estate, enough to increase productivity substantially, but you won't have to sacrifice too much space due to the reasonable size of the display's footprint. Just another reason to go LCD..."

    All the people I know who have had two monitors never go back.

    Same thing can be said about a woman with no teeth.

    yeah nice... but to get double sight it's cheaper to buy beer.

    *Exactly how many pixels does it take to increase productivity substantially?*

    Apparently, about a million. I'd say round it to a million, maybe make 1,000,000 pixels == 1 substantial productivity increase, call it 1Mipx=1spi

    Hey, the headline looks like most of the spam I get.

    In my experience there are two types of people, those who have two (or more) monitors, and those who have never tried it.

    How about a third type of person: someone who had a dual-head system, but whose manager took the extra video card and monitor so he could have TWO emails open at once.

    Anyone else find it weird that the drivers come on a floppy disk?.

    Is there *anyone* out there with the money to spend on this that does't have a CD/DVD drive? I'm willing to guess that the proportion of (potential) buyers without a floppy drive will far outweigh those without a CD drive.

    Besides which, if a floppy is that important, they could put a "create floppy" option on the CD.

    So what if the Resolution is higher?
    I'm afraid it even isn't that. I've got a 19 inch CRT monitor at home running at a resolution of 1920*1440@85Hz - that's almost 145.000 Pixels more than that LCD setup.
    My monitor at work is a 22inch running at 2048*1536@85Hz - that's more than half a million pixels (i.e. another 800x600 monitor and some leftovers) more at half the price.

    So mine is longer, thicker and bigger - but the LCDs still get all the girls. I just don't get it,

    Or, for just over twice the price of your wall mount (about $90 US), I picked up two used 19" Trinitron monitors - the the balance of the thousand dollars will buy you a much roomier (again, used) desk, and leave enough left over for quite a lot of beer - which, if you consume enough, will let you percieve a four-monitor setup...
