縦のアップルディスプレー

wow. so nice want to have that cinema display too.
but isn't it quite expensive, compared to the other brand which have more spec than
apple?

Do you remember the old Radius Pivot monitor?

That's kinda scary making it stand freely despite the shelving unitt giving it some support. The LCD display I recently got for my room I'm using vertically every now and then for browsing the internets.

looks good, I can see more space there ^^

The vertical monitors do look nice, but seem unnecessary. I guess it just depends on what you do with them.

Cool but too dangeorus if fall for an slip

ah~~ I am able to vertical my monitor but... decided against it

I guess vertical monitors are a niche - Great for long scrolling webpages, but my mouse solves that problem

A vertical monitor... Hmmm I will need time to be familiar with it >.<

since I am using dual screen, I have my 19" in vertical and my 24" in horizontal. The vertical helps a lot when I need to read through document and webpages for reference while doing work on my main LCD

Nice ^^ lol you passed from having like 5 screens/computers on your desk and now just 2! o.ó you'll get a new one soon i can smell it *sniff* *sniff* LOL! .... i need some of those slabs or a laptop base (mine gets too hot ;_;)

The screen's proportions aren't too great for vertical/portrait viewing.

Oh, did you update your Mac to OSX 10.5.8?

Nice... but I prefer horizontal than vertical...
Depends on what you do.

I've been using my 23 inch monitor vertically for some time now and love it especially for the internet. I bought a stand that rotates at Office Depot and attached it so I can swivel it from horizontal to vertical as need. Only drawback is finding wallpapers oritented vertically so if anyone know a good site to find them, please post a link.

If you use your main in "landscape" mode and your secundary in "portrait" mode you can use the secundary for chatting, reading manga, reading information you need for referense white working or just to watch some anime or video while working. It's very useful, just think abou it.

I thought it looked pretty good for browsing the blog...kinda felt like I was reading a newspaper...although it'd be pretty scary if there was an earthquake with it up like that...

They are calling it "Tallscreen" as opposed to Widescreen...
It is apparently becoming quite popular as more people are taking video with their iPhone 3GS in portrait aspect...

:)

That's kind of scary...I mean, logically, I understand the thing doesn't tip easy, but still... >< Those gorgeous Apple Cinema Displays ain't cheap.

I think at least a quarter of an apple monitor's price is actually its premium, with that said it still is overpriced for the current features it offers. Would probably get one if they drop the price or drastically redesigned it for added functionality (go figure) or just plain awesomeness! haha

Currently using a 22 inch dell monitor and would love to own a bigger 1 ^^

Hmmm... My line of work could use the vertical display... not for my specific work though. But then again the Mac I'm working at is so old that it doesn't even recognize widescreen monitors.

very cool

First time seeing a display being used that way myself too. I like having more width than height though. So I'd never use a vertical display.

that looks so unstable. Are those cement bricks.
Never liked vertical monitors, our eyes aren't designed to use them.

I would be careful with how you have it, and tie it back with something. One good earthquake and-.... well actually your whole room would probably be in shambles. But even a small one-... well even that would probably be enough to topple everything. ... nvm

You might think about securing it somehow in case of earthquake.

how bout having it like that but with two more next to each other.

I didn't realise that ACDs don't have rotating stands; just another feature that is surprisingly missing from such an expensive lineup of monitors!

I sincerely hope you´ve attached the monitor to something so it doesn´t stand free just leaned against the wall.

It´s way to expensive for that.

Having a monitor verticaly could have it´s uses sure, but man that looked weird.

hum...... good idea but....

My brother-in-law has a vertical monitor configuration attached to a desk arm that can swivel the monitor around easily. He had me try it, but I found it had too much information on screen blasting me in the face at once.

IMO, the Apple Cinema Display is just too costly for the job it does.
Not forgetting that the recent iterations have glossy screens and Mini DisplayPort which causes the monitor to be saddled by a poor usable viewing angle as well as being locked down unnecessary standards(making it incompatible with computers with DVI/VGA ports unless a converter is utilized).

At its price range, you can get an IPS monitor from the likes of Dell, HP or Eizo which are more superior in features compared to the Apple Cinema Display. The majority of the price of this monitor is really made up of the "Apple Tax" sadly.

For my Multimedia class last year, we worked with an old stand-up arcade (complete with joystick and buttons) and used a Dell computer screen on its side to replace the arcade's old screen. Everyone in class got into groups and created games in Adobe Director for the arcade and they were made so that it could work with the vertical orientation of the screen. It was quite fun seeing the games from the computer to the stand-up arcade.

Now if we had used a Mac screen, that would have been awesome... =D Expensive, but awesome.

it would beautiful to have Apple's Cinema display but it would cost me an arm ang a leg and then some just to have one XDD

I can't do that since I have a laptop. I can rotate the screen, but it won't make any sense since I can't type anything while looking at it. Besides, there aren't many vertical wallpapers.

I use the same Apple display, only I've never tried the vertical placement... I could see it helping when editing photos that we're shot vertical, so I guess it's something to consider.

Don't those bricks scratch up the brushed metal on the bottom?!
Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

The only thing I like about those displays is there design and it looks really good on your desk. (+ the natural colours maybe). Reaction time not good, far too pricy, no OSD andthe new ones require a Mini DisplayPort which means no go for PC users and even Mac Pro users need a second GT120.

Is yours the 20" or 23" model btw?

Woah!! That's kinda trippy xDD Cool but not something on my list

Super Schway!

Haha~~~ "Gave it about 5 mins before deciding "no"..." Thats right, I thinks it looks much better that... on last pic. ^_^ I prefer horizontal than vertical. Nice display, I see you have now a more space in the desk. ^^

Its kinda weird to see something as big as that in a vertical shape .

I prefer the normal too.

This display seems like it would really help with multi-tasking. If only it were cheaper.

Vertical monitors are great for playing shooters in tate mode :)

I haven't try vertical monitor display yet, but had seen some programmers run dual vertical HP monitors.

Danny,

Pretty sure it was my room that "inspired" you:

http://www.figure.fm/post/en/662/Rorschach+s+OTACOOL+Room.html

It took me a long time to get used to a vertical display, and I always have the option of viewing things on my horizontal one. That makes things much easier. If I could only choose one it would be widescreen for sure.

I prefer horizontal. Also, why take off the elegant foot? You can put Nendoroids and other figures there! ;)

Then, I also have the 30" model. 1600px of height is adequate for any website or application.

With my 24inch dual displays having one dedicated wide-screen monitor swivelled vertically for web browsing is a delight to use, so much less scrolling, plus with so many websites ( DC for example) nowadays designed in a generic narrow vertical blog style a lot of monitor landscape is empty on the left and right of a horizontal wide-screen display.

I do a lot of Photoshop portrait image work and the vertical workspace makes for better work flow, Photoshop's palettes can be spread onto the second screen for user benefits as well.

So each to his own when it comes to using a swivelled wide-screen monitor for vertical workspace and browser work.

"Removing the stand to make more space"......hmmmmmmmm

well every inch counts right?? hehehehehehe:P

vertical monitor is perfect for visiting DC.com

I like the perfect fit with the polystyrene slabs and shelving units :)

A vertical display wouldn't work for me since I use the monitor as a TV (yeah for EyeTV). Also I read at some time about 4:3 vs 16:9 and it turns out that the brain have an easier time handling horizontal objects rather than horizontal or square objects. Thinking about it I spend more time moving my eyes horizontally than vertically. This means that the top of the screen is a better hiding place than the sides ^^;

ahah, you remind me pinball and vertical shoot'em up players o//

Having the screen sit vertically is actually a good method for coding. I've tried it a few times myself and it works great, assuming that screen is used solely for displaying code. For other things it's pretty useless.

I've always disliked "vertical" screens, they crush pages making them look horrible.

My monitor here at work isn't a widescreen, but it DOES rotate strangely enough. I haven't tried it out, since I don't have room under my cabinet for the tall screen, but I may someday for kicks.

With regards to your setup with the monitor on cement blocks Danny, that is definitely something I wouldn't attempt here where I live; too much chance of an earthquake knocking the very expensive monitor to the hard desk and shattering it >< Granted, there hasn't been a very strong one lately, but you never know living in California Y_Y

hm it would be interesting to try that out some time. i dont know if i could get sue to it

ohhhh!! very nice display! but...not so sure about standing it on the bricks....I'd be afraid it falls over (>_<)

Mmmm, Here that Screens are as expensive as...(insert something expensive here)
Hate to imagine what would happen if it fall, :S

Vertical display don't work for me as well...don't like the small screen space...

Vertical display is really nice sometimes, but it doesn't work very well with most TFT monitors with TN panels.

Well if my mom gets a new computer with monitor I get her old one and I'll go dual monitor. I've been thinking of mounting it vertical if I can.

That's must be interesting to view the whole DC.com like that. It would make web design a lot easier I assume. I would like to have a Cinema Display for a PC or Mac.

It's way too expensive. ANd I'm not a CAD maker so I got myself a "regular 28" for 400 Euros!!

Haha danny u are really a apple fanboy :P

There's better LCD panels than apple ones and are much cheaper as well, can't see myself to afford that HD Cinema display panel ><

That would be convenient if you are viewing a web page thats really really long~ =3

Having it in a vertical position just doesn't seem right. Doesn't feel like a computer monitor anymore.

Nice Danny, I like how ergonomic your work space is.

Danny i got to say, your screen looked better when it was on the stand it came with. There will be moments where you will want to move your screen around and the foam blocks wont cut the mustard!

lol, i just use the scroll button on my mouse. i think even dell has this feature in their 24 inch models. just another gimmick from the manufacturers to sell their panels.

i can see the situations when you'd use a monitor in portrait mode i.e. document reading/creation, full page websites etc but for general, day-to-day stuff i'll stick to the usual landscape format.

I've seen some nice setups too with portrait set screens, can't remember quite where i saw it, I've seen a desk shot with 2 PC's running 4 screens, 2 24" widescreen in portrait and 2 smaller in normal - think it was for a digital painter so there's another reason for said position.

I have to say i can't say your (dc) desk is either cluttered or well organised...i suppose it's really organised chaos!

is used to read manga better

The vertical one aint bad for web browsing, but dunno how it'll work out for gaming lol

i have been wondering for some time now. those lights are pretty bright.
they seem to be a huge distraction, especially when you are doing your work...
but then again it could be just me

I just couldn't get used to having a vertical screen... I prefer landscape style ^^

Wow, that's amazing. What will they think of next?....

Dont you feel the lcd monitor a little far away?

Hi, I just have to start with that I am a happy guest on this site and you always get me want to buy so much ^w^.
Right now I am re-furnishing my room to be more Simple and clean. I would like to ask you where I can find a similar wall clock as in your first picture (the one with blue color on the wall).
Possibly IKEA? I Did not find it on their site so probably not.
If anyone else know please let me know :)
