I’ll comment on your desk setup not the gremlins.

Looking at your keyboard angle makes my wrists hurt.

You might try using the keyboard flat, without the little legs to prop it up. It is much easier on the wrists. It took me less than an hour to get used to it.

I haven’t noticed an issue. I use the PivotPro drivers and they seem to work fine, although I don’t see very well anyway so the Cleartype anti-aliasing might look crappy and I just don’t notice.

This might be a weird question, but I have a somewhat similar monitor setup and i ended moving away from the vertical route because it made Cleartype anti-aliasing look awful, since Cleartype is predicated on the increased horizontal subpixel resolution, it looks pretty bad when you rotate the monitor. Did you find a way around this or does it not bother you?

I thought I was cool with my one Dell 24″ monitor.

My jaw dropped when I saw how cool your monitors are.

Definite envy going on!

I like the “Life Dinner” idea. May have to incorporate that into my schedule. Followed by the third Tuesday of the month “Life Cocktails”.

The monitors are standard issue NEC Multisync LCD 1980SX in portrait mode. I’ve got three video cards in the PC and am running Windows XP Pro.

For information, the local name for a “Greenland Gremlin” is Tupilak (alternate spelling: Tupilaq).

This is my desk in my home office. The three monitor setup works great – I was a long time “two monitor” guy and one day decided to try three. Having them portrait is perfect – it’s too wide (and squat) if they are horizontal. I also like the ability to angle the outer two monitors – having one contiguous flat screen that is this wide is actually hard to deal with.

The view out the window is “my yard.”

And yes – I hate paper.

“Walnut Ivory”? Walrus Ivory?
