Where'd you get it/how much?
I'm looking into 30" monitors but I can only find the Dell for like $1300, whereas the HP LP3065 is pretty much the same monitor with more inputs and is about $100 cheaper.

Thats a tight monitor, a day of successful nine tabling should pay for that easy. Enjoy

I bought it for $1000 shipped from a guy on Anandtech forums. He said it was brand new and he didn't even open the box (I had him test it before shipping it).

A few weeks ago I saw a 30" Dell for $950 but someone snatched it before I could pick it up. I generally find that Craigslist and forums like Anandtech are the best for finding computer stuff, just because people are too lazy to list their stuff on eBay (including me) or want to avoid the hassle of shipping and eBay+PayPal fees.

My measly 22" is jealous. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

The 22" is plenty for me to 6-table with. But, I watch more TV/Movies on my PC, than I do play poker, lately. A 30" would be sweeeeet. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]


Will you be 12-tabling now? If not, why the upgrade?

I want the 30 also but may just upgrade one of my 20's to the 24 since you can 12 table easily on those. Save me quite a bit of money.

Bought mine for the same reason. Usually I play 4-6 tables, but sometimes I'll bump it up to 9 and that's no fun on a 24".

EnoBaLL - No, this monitor is not from PokerStars. Stars offers a Samsung 30", not a Dell.

TomHimself - Yes, 15" MBP, not the newest one though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Do you plan on selling the 24" model? If anyone else is looking to upgrade soon I'm looking to buy a used 20"-24".

Nice setup btw.

Re: Brag: New monitor
 
Hmm, Dell 30" is actually on sale for $1275 in their store until Oct. 18 (beat: +$100 for CA sales tax [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]).

Ok well i have just before a dell 30inch monitor for 1100pounds. How the hell ave you got it for so cheap?

Daddy Warbucks 10-11-2007 06:10 PM

Re: Brag: New monitor
 
Because Dell doesn't rip off its US customers like it does to people in the UK and Ireland.

Re: Brag: New monitor
 
Lol nice.

Anyone who says why upgrade if you aren't playing more tables obviously hasn't used one of these before. I love mine, 12 tabling is so easy on one of these, so much that I no longer have the patience to 6 table because it gets so boring.

Vavavoom 10-12-2007 07:28 AM

Re: Brag: New monitor
 
I would consider getting one if it didn't cost so much to get in the UK...

When I start winning monies again - I'm going to invest in one....

And then I'll probably need a middle man "if you know what I mean" ...

vava,

30 inch monitors are sweet and all, but i'd rather have 2 20s or 2 24s with 1900x1200 res.

it's cheaper and easier to play poker on 2 monitors. windows resize to just one monitor so you can use the other one for other stuff. if you maximize a window on a 30, it takes up the whole screen whereas you can just drag it to the second monitor and not cover up your windows. resizing windows manually is a pain.
