That's the NEW Sony MDR-ZX1000.

From a UI perspective I never got vertical touch-screens. Price isn't the reason they're not catching on. There's actually a phenomena called "gorilla arm" in the UI community that is the result of regularly using a vertical touch interface. Basically, your forearms get massive. Horizontal touch interfaces are another story all together. It's why devices like the iPad, iPhone and other more portable touch interfaces are so popular. Also kind of why I want one... OK, not kind of. I REALLY want an iPad.
 
But yes, for $300 you could get an IPS display which would likely be a big step forward. They're brighter and have better color which helps.
My iMac doesn't do too bad on the reflections unless there's some really, really strong light going on. But in my experience, in those situations a matte display doesn't always fair much better. The only solution that would really work is an eInk display, which would be rubbish for general computing. For now, at least.

From my experience the gorilla arm isn't that bad at all. If you take on the right posture, and don't spend hours doing it you don't notice it at all. But then again, my mouse/keyboard are still by far my main input devices. I only use the touchscreen a couple times a day, really.

I was thinking of getting the Dell U2311H, which will require me to pay only a couple extra bucks if I can sell the touchscreen for a good amount of money. I hope to get something around $250, which is $100 below current price. I'm not very good with selling stuff second hand, so do you think that's a good price? Or should I higher it and accept lower bids?

Thanks! IKEA desk (Cant remember the model name on top of my head) and the monitors are Dell u2410.
 


 

That's definitely a Galant with "half-round" extensions (start at page 3)

Go on eBay and see what other people are selling theirs for, or check around the web. if something is in good condition you can usually sell it for closer to the original price. I usually expect at least 20% less if it's used, but that's me. Figure out what you think a fair asking price is, put that as your buy it now and then toss it on eBay, see what happens. I think you always have the option of saying no.

Got a new desk, so I finally have space for a third monitor.
 
I just need to, y'know, get a third monitor... (been eying an HP 16:10 S-IPS monitor, it's horrendously tempting.)
 

 
Obviously, I'd move the laptop and the game consoles off the desk if/when I get a third monitor...
 
I also need a dedicated desktop source. Been looking at Yulong's D100 for a while now.
 
Guhhhhh I need all of the monies. Like, immediately. ASAP. Posthaste. And so on, so forth, etc., etc.

Griffinhart check out a program called Display Fusion . It lets you get wallpapers 3840x1080 to spread the one pic over your 2 screens! Free version is good.

Its a great tool. I actually bought it because its such a great tool. because I bought it, several times when I gave a suggestion for the program he implemented my idea by the next update. Same goes with my friend who also bought it.

You gotta love a responsive dev. Still... How has Windows not implemented this yet? It's been in OS X for near a decade now and gods only know how long Linux has had it.

In Windows, if you have two or more monitors with the same resolution, figure out what the full resolution would be, find an image that can fill that much space, then set your wallpaper to "tile". It'll go across all the screens.

In XP go to display->desktop->customize desktop->web->new->browse for the file on your computer, then OK everything, it places it on the desktop, you stretch it across both screens, then go back in and click "lock desktop". Done.

Link to those wallpapers if possible, especially the Squirtle ?

I personally use ultramon. Has some other cool features as well.
The only thing it apparently can't do is cycle wallpapers (e.g. wallpaper changes every day, or every startup).

Does anyone know a good multi monitor wallpaper tool that can also cycle wallpapers?

I originally used ultramon. Now I moved to Displayfusion.

Problem: None of the images that I already have are at 3840x1080; and if I ever add a third monitor, it'll be in 16:10 (most likely 1920x1200), which means that not all of my monitors will have the same resolution.
 
And finally, I can already do EyeFinity since I'm using an ATI video card. So... thanks, but no thanks. vOv
