I am sick to death of short screen.
I’ve got two ViewSonic 16:10 monitors, they aren’t bad, though they don’t even tell you anywhere what type of panel they have.
Also they cannot be rotated and with the weird plastic backing you cannot mount it on something else easily.
Congratulations for new setup. I use 4x 22" screens in portrait, it can fit more code and costs peanuts. My setup is here:

If these weren’t el cheapo monitors from Korea they’d probably have rotation built into the stands
That’s why you use the LCD monitor arms!

The monitors are nice but the Jerker desk is majestic!
Indeed it is. Indeed it is.

What is the video card you are using to drive the 3 monitors?
Radeon 7970. But modern Nvidia cards support 3 displays as well. You may need active mini-displayport to DVI converters though, which are around $80-$90.

One thing i noticed is you’re using a Razer keyboard. Do you use it only for gaming or for regular typing/programming too?
It’s a cherry brown keyboard, because it is the Razer Stealth model. Also, it is matte unlike the regular shiny. Who makes keyboards SHINY, for the love of FSM?

Jeff, where did you get that awesome wallpaper from? I can only find the 1000+ px wide version, but I’d like something more in the 2560 x 1440 range.
What kind of IPS panels are they? eIPS are considered pseudo IPS as they are limited to same 6-bit per color.
Thanks for the tip I had one dell 27" IPS monitor and two cheap 24" in portrait. Just gone and bought two korean panels I went with ones that have displayport, HDMI and some other connectors, a little more but worth it for me.
If they work well I may sell my Dell and get another save myself some money as the sale of the Dell is probably equivalent to two of these at least.
Have you tried them in portrait mode some people prefer the side monitors in portrait?
IPS is nice, but I must admit that I prefer S-PVA panels, which usually have a higher contrast ratio.
Even Milo was using one single monitor with his desktop! (Milo from the antitrust movie) However, Jeff, I wonder when I could work on such a big resolution monitors, 2560x1440 and 27" god, that is too big… and there are three of them!
I blog at http://www.darssh.com
Is there any solution for full-screen games when you’re running in portrait mode? I’d love taller monitors but I sometimes game.
LCD technology is a fantastic, in truth dla quality and comfort of LCD devices in comparison with the old is very good. And now they are much cheaper compared to some years ago. The technology of televisions, monitors, etc…, Going very fast and the good thing is that now the LCD is on its price.

Do you think you could check if these things have adjustments via DDC?

that app may open them up to be further adjusted even though their isn’t an OSD (and it will probably be in English as well).
Why glossy Jeff? It seems like glossy monitors and TVs are the de-facto standard these days and I don’t get it. Is there something I’m missing, some amazing feature of glossy that makes up for the glare?
OK, I was really happy with the giant size of my 27" Viewsonic TN until I read this thread. 
After a bit of research it looks like the Davi D279SV-VGQ2 would be my preferred choice, since it has anti-glare coating. Apparently there were two vendors selling this monitor on eBay, but I don’t find them anymore.
Any clues where I can buy one of these, or if there’s an alternate 27" anti-glare Korean IPS display?
Nice, almost like my room setup, except for my other Rock Band peripherals. Three monitors ftw.
I purchased two. One was perfect the second had light grey lines running horizontal across the screen that fades out towards the right half of the monitor. I’ve contacted the company, but they are on vacation, hopefully there are no issues with an exchange.
I Just got a FSM-270YG from eBay. It causes an immediate shut down and restart when I plug the monitor into my 2011 macbook Pro or 2010 iMac. Using Apple mini-displayport to DVI adapter.
They shut down occurs even when the monitor is not plugged into power. Tried different DVI cable and that did not help. Any ideas?
This is “the” local Korean shopping site for electronics; essentially the website for Yongsan Electronics Market, the biggest in Seoul. It basically comprises 4 or 5 buildings, about a four block radius of tech shopping heaven.
Your model is on the lower section of this list at about $240. The company is called “First” and it is pretty low-end. All of the monitors on the linked page are IPS and 27". To convery the currency, just take off one zero and move the decimal left (not exact, but a right guide).
Anyhow, glad you like it. I guess I am lucky to have access to a nice variety of stuff 40 minutes away from me here in Seoul (no, I am not Korean), but there is a lot of questionable stuff out there. Personally, I would never have taken the risk you did buying an unknown brand - I know the brand and still wouldn’t buy it - but I am glad it is working out for you. A better choice for similar cash would be the lower-end Achievas, but that’s just me.
Let me know if you need any parts sent!
Hey,
does anyone have any idea why sellers don’t recommend them with laptops and HDMI to DVI converters? Can something be done about this?
I cannot get this monitor to work under linux (nouveau).
It just doesn’t recognize it.
Has anybody had any success?
