my name is mwd

Just been testing this display we have in the lab out, one of the Dell 30” screens. Very nice, once I found a machine with a good enough graphics card to drive it. My MacBook really doesn’t do it justice, not when you can get 2560×1600 out of the screen.

Under linux I was able to have some nice large emacs buffers and a host of xterms all on the screen at once, very crisp and clear too. You’d hope so for the price I guess. Google Earth in full screen is amazing, particularly for either high res bird’s eye sat views or for 3D city views and hills (as you can see with SF in the pic). Oh, and the Half Life 2 demo looks pretty neat too ;)
