lion king mug? I dig it!
how do you like the screens turned vertical ??

-P


haha, that mug was a special gift from Disney World. I use it everyday! The vertical monitors saves space on my desk cus they're 30". When you have multiple wide monitors, I think the vertical setup is the way to go. Also, I think the layout is more comfortable for the tools I use (DOM, Footprint and Volume Profile).

So we shouldn't be marketing the competition that way? Maybe that should be added to the rules. I know 'being etiquette' is.

Hello Jonny!
I first bought one 38 inch hoping that it would be enough, but unfortunately it wasn't.
I find the angle and size to be perfect and easy for the eyes. Having two next to each other however is not really optimal. But you can absolutely make it work by having the less important charts at the far edge of the screen. I have the charts that I don't look at that often on my second screen to the far right edge. On my left screen I have all the charts that I primarily look at.

I think having them stacked would be the ideal solution, but I haven't found a good option for a monitor of this size.

The slickest solution that I have found is this, but I don't know if it would work. https://www.ergotron.com/sv-se/products/product-details/61-113
I've contacted the Company and they thought it could work, but they wasn't sure.


If I where you I would consider this monitor as well. If I knew that I would have needed two 38 inch I would have compared it to the 49 inch as well. Unfortunately it wasn't available when I bought my screens and I didn't have the patience to wait for it either.

How insulting!

The Houston Oilers, were a storied and historical franchise, that include gridiron legends like George Blanda, Earl Campbell and Bum Phillips. They played in Houston from 1960-1996 in the Astrodome, once considered the 8th Modern Wonder of the World. In their 27 years in the NFL they went to the Championship Game 4 Times, winning twice. The primary color in their uniform was "Baby Blue" and their logo was an Oil Derek.

That horrible ghastly image (what is it, a Flaming T ???) you can see on the desk is on instead related to a continually mediocre team who in 22 seasons their number one achievement is a single loss in the championship game. They also don't have a single player in the Hall of Fame that is considered to be from their team*.

How could anybody possibly confuse the two?

* The only Hall of Famers to even to play for them are Bruce Matthews (considered an Oiler where he played 14 years), Kevin Mawae (NY Jet) and Randy Moss).

I had lived in Houston at one time and do enjoy visits when I can.
Great city and indeed a great team...
Nice post.
