| hads | Ooo excitement. My 27" monitors have arrived from Korea. | 04:52 |
|---|---|---|
| chilts | cool! | 04:53 |
| hads | I'm not sure I have room on my desk for two. | 04:54 |
| ajmitch | send one down my way | 04:59 |
| ajmitch | sadly I've only really got room for a single monitor as well :) | 05:00 |
| hads | heh. I do have to decide whether I'm being greedy and should just sell one. | 05:00 |
| ajmitch | if it's a decent monitor, I might be interested :) | 05:00 |
| * ajmitch was looking at getting a new one recently | 05:01 | |
| hads | 2560x1440 IPS | 05:01 |
| ajmitch | I'm guessing it's one of these cheap unknown brands that various people have been blogging about? | 05:02 |
| hads | Yeah, thought I'd take a gamble. | 05:02 |
| ajmitch | if you do decide to sell, let me know | 05:02 |
| hads | Sure. | 05:03 |
| hads | http://www.swiftworld.net/2012/04/14/budget-korean-27-ips-monitor-information-and-comparison-of-the-different-brands-and-models/ | 05:03 |
| chilts | hads: how much did they set you back each? | 05:08 |
| * ajmitch thinks it'd probably be a noticeable difference from the 1600x1200 monitor currently being used | 05:08 | |
| hads | chilts: They were US$300ea. not including customs charges and GST | 05:32 |
| hads | Can't get X to come up at the moment for some reason. | 05:33 |
| Pikiora | Oh no, not greedy, essential :P How else will you watch a movie while browsing? Play a game while tweeting ;) | 05:49 |
| Pikiora | Essential! | 05:49 |
| hads | True, but not as essential if you've got 2560 horizontal resolution. | 05:54 |
| hads | Had to remove the Nvidia driver to get X running for the moment. | 05:55 |
| hads | Pretty stunning picture. | 05:55 |
| chilts | hads: cool :) | 06:08 |
| chilts | if I may ask, how much was customs charges? I think I had to pay about $50 | 06:09 |
| chilts | which is kinda annoying, but not sure if it varies for different things | 06:09 |
| hads | Yeah about $50. It does vary very slightly with value but not a lot. It does vary dependant on who does the clearance though. | 06:24 |
| hads | Fedex/UPS/DHL are all about $50. NZ Post are about $120 | 06:25 |
| Atamira | morning ! | 18:45 |

| chilts | ibeardslee: wasssuuuuuuupppppp??? | 20:42 |
| ibeardslee | rotten houses | 20:43 |
| ajmitch | morning | 20:46 |
| ajmitch | seems like my laptop likes to lie to me about battery life remaining | 21:24 |
| ajmitch | you'd think I'd get at least an hour out of a fully-charged battery though | 21:25 |
| chilts | ibeardslee: yeah, that sucks :( | 21:31 |
