Dang, take your eye off the ball for 5 seconds and you miss cool stuff like this. Where is the targeted advertising when you want it??
Those screens look sweet, and I think dropping from 30" to 28" would be ok if the screen rez goes up. My other two are 28". Also its Displayport input most likely means it will work with my current gear (which all has Displayport). Will investigate what res my graphics card supports on its Displayport. thanks!! Oh and need vs want... 55" would be currently three or four times the 28" one. On Fri, May 9, 2014 at 9:43 AM, Ken Schaefer <[email protected]> wrote: > Do you need to have the 55” one?
