hello monitors thread, i need some advice i need to prep a mobile-ish setup that involves 3 displays and my needs have been p well suited by p series dell stuff (i'm mostly doing financial/production/code stuff so no need for fancy gamut options) thinking of grabbing another set of p2217h, is there anything stuff i should be looking at?

i figure this might be the place to ask, i'm thinking of getting one of those graphics tablet doohickeys and i'm wondering what was good a few few years ago. i'm not super interested in dropping a grand to make better avatars, so i'm hoping to find something fairly good refurbished or new old stock

sure, i'm in no hurry, anyhow 80% of my use case is making avatars so it's not like i'm doing mad science over here to be clear though i'm looking for an actual display tablet, not the other kind, ideally in a fairly small form factor since i already have too much poo poo on my desk

HAIL eSATA-n posted:what monitors do i want for workin at home doing non-graphical things i quite enjoyed that family of display doing financial/operations/coding, i had a set of smaller p2217hs at my last gig:  they lack a few features but for the price they're amazing there's a healthy refurb market out there, if you're not in a hurry wait a bit and keep an eye on prices

mishaq posted:this setup sucks i've been working with either 3x1p or 5x1p setups since ~2009 and i guess my workflows evolved around them, keep in mind that i tend to work with a bunch of windows open instead of a single one. i have been meaning to stretch my legs a bit though and the more i look at the dell canvas or wacom 27qhd the more i want to try them out, even for not graphics applications i could see myself using this kind of setup (paired with a u3417w i think):  bit over my original budget, but since i was already looking at buying a travel setup and a graphics tablet, i could switch my home office setup to my travel setup and have something that suits my ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃｓ for about a grand more than planned good, bad or terrible idea?

pagancow posted:Wide displays are bad, I had to use one unironically for a week straight, and they are just never tall enough, and the extra wideness doesn't really help at all. Most games don't support the extra pixels, and you're throwing away extra GPU time on it since you never look at them.

since this thread is like catnip for video knowers, can anyone suggest a list of things to buy/know for decce youtube content? a client of mine needs to make not poo poo looking training material and they want to keep it in house. assume the following: - an employee familiar with photoshop/indesign/illustrator but not premiere/ae yet (so training stuff or online courses are welcome) - single static camera positioning (mostly a shot of someone talking with intermittent cuts to on-screen workflow stuff) known issues: - lighting throughout the office is terrible; no natural light, heavy yellow/orange bias in wall paint, standard cheapo commercial fluorescent tubes - they own a few cellphones with alright cameras (s7, iphone 7) so while it's not ideal, i don't expect them to be willing to pony up the cash for a nice dedicated one for now. the immediate issue is lighting, is there a model or brand i should suggest? for the rest, any tips and tricks are welcome. tia!

bumpin' with another tangentially related question, assuming i need stock footage for a project and that i'm not into the whole $80-per-clip-oh-god-i-need-like-40 pricing model of shutterstock, what other provider should i look at, ideally with a flat monthly/yearly? videoblocks @$100-$150/y seems good even though they don't have exactly what i was able to find on shutterstock, anything else i should look at?

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:sounds like someone should have """accidentally""" tripped and bashed some of that equipment late, but that's basically what my college did they had a deal in place with their supplier to get hardware cheaper with the condition that they had to purchase any consumables (bulbs in the case of the projectors) through them, and they had audit authority on the it expenses to make sure we were buying their hilariously overpriced stuff new it director comes in, sees the contracts, says nope, gently caress that, and basically for the remainder of the contract whenever a thing had a consumable near it's mtbf they just removed it, replaced the whole loving unit (at a cheaper cost than changing the bulb in the projector's case) and binned the old hardware supplier got wise half way through the remainder of the contract and threatened to sue, so about once a semester some poor computer janitor had to physically disable the hardware (originally by throwing it down a literal flight of stairs, though they eventually just started using hammers because lol @ cleaning up the mess in the stairwell) or arrange for student orgs (who depended on the college's it scraps) to steal poo poo that department was... weird, but it made sense from a cash point of view apparently.

eschaton posted:don't get a 1x display in this day and age unless it's for retrocomputing it's for a workflow that doesn't play well with a second display and space is at a super premium. plus retina display or not, 13" isn't a civilized screen size to work on when you're at a desk. out of curiosity i'll still check them out if you have a part number, cheapest i'm finding for 3k is well over $400
