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

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 was just mostly commenting on the terrible windows pc, gross keyboard and the low res monitors

if it works for you keep on keepin' on my friend

no it's this: P2415Q

(it's what I have and it's v nice)

:yeah:

you can get dell to price match any first party online retailers (no third party sellers on amazon, etc) and retain the warranty dell gives

if you buy them straight from amazon the warranty clock started ticking down when amazon took the inventory from dell, not from the purchase date

i grabbed two of these for $375 each, they own for the price

if you call dell they will reinstate the warranty from your amazon purchase date. they do this automatically w/ some retailers.

that is a fun fact

lol if u think some chip from samsung or sony can render the video better than the guys hand mastering each frame at ILM.

i bet you think manual transmissions are more fuel efficient than modern automatics too :smug:

this is a false equivalency since the hand tweaking is like the modern automatic where an engineer hand placed the gear ratios and synchro timings for a specific performance requirement.

now someone color grading a live feed might be a better equivalency but lol who does that except sports?

i definitely think a computer chip designed by korean/japanese engineers can more accurately do a task over some dumb human on a consistent basis

especially some flabby schulb at ILM, what have they done decent since the 80s anyway :smug:
