It's coming for visit almost every day. So many of them. The biggest and the smallest oftenly came around. They seemed to be friendly this lately.

Upgraded from the 17" ViewSonic to a 26" LCD TV. So far it's running great as a monitor. Built in tuner makes it easy to switch back and forth.
Running it in Fedora Linux at 1280x768 @ 60 Hz.
Still have to figure out what to do with the high-end 2.1 speakers you see on the right. Have to hook them up to the desktop's output as well as the TV's so when I switch to the tuner it outputs the TV's audio. I've got cable splitters up the ass with this setup. Don't get me started on the 5 outputs I need from my audio card...
As for oversized LCDs, I've been using my 26" LCD TV as a monitor for almost 2 weeks now. I'm going to write something useful to circulate more broadly later, but for now, suffice it to say it's worth it. It runs at 1280x768, so it's shorter than I like at 1280x1024. It's a LOT easier on the eyes. Your head has to scan around more, but I've noticed that I never squint anymore trying to read a small icon or block of text in a title bar or something. Besides, it's mostly eye movement more than neck movement so your neck doesn't get sore. If anything, forcing your neck to rotate is probably better for you than keeping it more stationary with a smaller screen. For games it's just crazy. The only downside is the price as well as the slight high pitched hum you can sometimes hear. I think it's caused by the TV tuner so it doesn't come on when you're using the DVI input from the PC. I have to check on that.

This happened this morning at about seven o'clock. The monitor had been fritzing for a while, so I was half expecting it.
RADIATION MONITORING STATIONS - DOE, EM-50 sponsored technology. This demonstration project was used to evaluate the development of a low-cost, multi-point radiation monitoring system for long-term, continuous, unattended monitoring of radiation levels in the soil of hazardous waste sites. Stations were set up in the South Field and near Paddy’s Run. The demonstration ended the following year.

Taking this photo with a 10-20mm wide-angle lens I realised I was getting a little close when the bugger started tail-whipping me!
I monitored this view of the Oshkosh bridge shortly after a Northbound was lined up. The clouds provided for some cool effects as bad weather was drifting out.
24" widescreen vs 19" 4:3. Believe me when I say a dual-monitor set-up like this is tempting, but my video card just won't handle it. They line up really well for it, though... :)
Students are checking plants for pest problems. One of their monitoring tools are yellow sticky cards which trapo flying insects such as whitefly, fungus gants and aphids.
Rack Phase Differential Monitoring Systems (RPD)
The company’s retrofit advanced M1000 RPD monitoring system provides an extremely fit for purpose, automated, real time management tool for safely and speedily lowering and positioning the legs of jack-up rigs in all types of seabed terrain. M1000 RPD also provides the operator with the corrective action to be taken to solve problems identified by the system and includes a fail-safe monitor that automatically shuts down the jack-up process if the operator does not respond fast enough to a warning signal.
Case Study
Rack Phase Differential Monitoring Systems (RPD)
Aware of the significant issues in safely lowering and positioning the legs of jack-up rigs in all types of lowering conditions, in 2009, Monitor Systems developed and installed an M1000 RPD on Transocean’s Magellan rig to provide the client with a safe, error free, automated jack-up control and management process. The system provides central and localised chord monitoring of critical data and operator response management aimed at eliminating the potential of serious structural damage and resulting safety implications during future jacking operations. Customer: Transocean.
Just what I needed. Although I can buy a sturdy monitor hood on the internet for 30 bucks, I had an extra 30x40 matting board and some wide packing tape lying around.
I used to work in the dark to keep the colors fairly consistent but it limits on what I can do (and it makes me sleepy). I can't keep the lights off all the time (especially if Tina's home) and comparing a print against the monitor is just impossible. A monitor hood is a good compromise. It's not perfect but it does reduce glare significantly and maintains contrast.
Of course, I use a Pantone Huey to calibrate my monitor first.
As shown in this photo, The room is lit by fluorescent light with a diffuser but the monitor color is unaffected. No glare at all! I guess the camera's white balance preferred the monitor, giving the surrounding a yellow tint.
An ASUS VG236 120 Hz '3d' monitor.
I've been wanting a 3d monitor for a while for playing with 3d photography, 3d video, and yes, also 3d gaming. And this one was on sale, plus I had some store credit at ncix, so I figured I may as well buy myself something.
Unfortunately NVidia's 3D Vision system only works with GeForce cards in Windows. No linux. For Linux stereoscopic 3d one needs to buy a Quadro card, which are, like, $2000+. Hopefully either the price of 3d-compatible Quadro cards comes down over the next couple of years or someone writes stereoscopic 3d drivers for GeForce cards in linux. In the meantime 3d will only work for me on Thangorodrim and not on Tol Galen. (And right now it isn't even working on Thangorodrim - I'm pretty sure it's an issue with my KVM switch. I need to wait for my new DVI cables before recabling things.) (UPDATE: Working now. Not a cabling problem but a driver problem. Install new video drivers and everything is working perfectly (in Windows 7) now.)
Unfortunately re-arranging my computer stuff meant I don't have enough long DVI cables, so now I have to wait another week for the longer cables to come in before everything is set up properly. (Plus Ubuntu is also complaining about a disk error, so I need to dig up my Ubuntu usb key drive to try and fix that - hope I also don't need a new harddrive now ...)
