Re: [ccp4bb] Zalman LCD availability

Hey,

we just got 6 beautiful 24" (1920x1200) monitors from Zalman - it's a limited 
edition of a prototype Zalman produces (I contacted Zalman directly)
We use both, Linux and Macs having NVIDIA cards.

Hi Francois,

Zalman LCD (21") is available in Japan. We already bought 2 sets one 
month ago and both are working perfectly with mac pro, windows and Linux.


For William: I think the best way to get extra glasses is to go, in the 
weekend (or late night show if you like), to the nearest movie theater 
with 3D projection.
Personally I did this way, and I got two pairs of glasses just for ~3US$ 
extra/pair and of course enjoyed the 3D movie.

Hi Valerie,

this is a known issue, exchange the cable with any other cable which  
you have in the lab. Some of the cables will only work with PC - I had  
one of them too. I ordered two Zalman's and one was *bad* but changing  
the cable from one to the other made it clear that something was wrong  
with the cable. Since then I ordered another two so in total we have  
four and all are fine.


Are you using the DVI or the VGA cable - try both.

Good luck,

Jürgen

2010-01-14 Thread Andrew Ring
Hello All,

Thank you all for the replies.

It appears that the Zalmans are out there, but one may need to check
several of the smaller sites before finding one with them in stock and
one should not be surprised to find that it is back ordered after the
order is placed.

I tried another tactic with Zalman and they suggested quietpcusa.com. 
So at worst, emailing sales@zalmanusa.com will help with supplier
locating.

I had not tried all of the stores with the google shopping, and at least
a couple of them still have them in stock.

Thank you,
Andrew

Yes, we noticed the same thing.  Newegg went out of stock around
Thanksgiving, and various other retailers were either out of stock or had
"coming soon" sort of notices on the product pages over the last month and
a half.

My Zalman Trimon is in the mail.  It was ordered about a week ago, so
no issues here.  I am discussing 3D PyMOL development with Zalman

Does anyone have insight into Zalman's situation they can share?
