I seem to recall that we spent most of the 80s trying to get shot of shiny screens on CRT monitors.

True. I remember having to attach anti-glare shields to the old monitors before anti-glare film was available.

I suppose it allows them to sell glossy to home users who are going to want to watch movies on their laptop and PC instead of a whacking great plasma or LCD TV.

Then charge a premium for their 'business' models with anti-glare.

German is easy. Just speak English slowly and loudly with a herr flick accent.

You'll be needing those sunglasses with all the glare from those displays.

I prefer Dell with the anti-glare coating.

I really really really hate the modern trend of having glossy displays on monitors and laptops. Are these companies run by opticians looking to sell more glasses, or just cretins?

I have a 22" HP monitor that is almost always used in portrait mode. Portrait mode is better for most things I do, in particular it is better for web pages and web applications and Quicken. If I want to watch video, the monitor can rotate to landscape mode and (with Windows 7) the desktop adjusts automatically in real-time, but I hardly ever do this as I have a large plasma downstairs for that sort of thing.

I've got one that looks out through the office window.

My home office isn't big enough for keeping a dish warm, maybe I need one of those garden shed offices.

I initially thought of putting the dish in the loft and swapping a roof tile out for a perspex one, but it would just be easier to attach the dish to an external wall like everyone else.

Get a freesat card for the PC.

Not enough room for the satellite dish on my desk.

I suppose the beeb will be streaming the olympics live on iPlayer?

If so I just need to make sure iPlayer doesn't eat through all my bandwidth, though it'll be a conundrum between saving bandwidth or watching the womens sports in high quality. I'd better start deliberating that now, less than 9 months to go.

Currently 'struggling by' with 1 x 24" (1920x1200) after it's sibling died recently.

Been tempted to go for a Hazro 27" (2560x1400) for around £300+ vat (i.e. a lot cheaper than the equivalent Dell 27" but with fewer inputs and less adjustable stand), but need a new gfx card to handle that resolution.

Hoping the 30" ones offering 2560x1600 come down in price soon as currently they're way overpriced for those 200 extra vertical pixels.

Also considering getting a monitor/TV combo instead, so I can watch the olympics next year while working from home.

I have a main 30” Dell & a secondary 19” Acer: it’s a nice set up,

BGG Has the above & then a 19” touch screen on his other (no idea what it’s for) PC & a 22” widescreen on his music writing PC: all his study is missing is a white cat for that “world domination” look
