Monitor to lay almost flat

Paul Gold · 20th September 2006

Does anyone know of a monitor or type of monitor to mount in a console ? I know there are the touch screen types that lay flat but I want a regular monitor.

The Samsung 920T can do it, and is one of the best monitors too.

If you can't get that I believe Samsung still makes another extremely flexible monitor (the most flexible on the market actually).

Thanks Holger. I guess the spec that matters is the 170 degree vertical viewing angle.

I swear by my dell 2407fpw's. 24 inches and VESA-ready. Brighter than the Apple Cinema Displays. I paid $650 for each (I have three).

The trick with dell is you need to call their sales line and talk to a rep - they can give you MUCH better pricing than online.

you got it for $650 just by calling them up, no special offers? is it because you bought 3 at once?

I want a 17" monitor. I'm hoping it will fit in something close to a 19" rack. It can be a little bigger but not much. I don't need to look at a lot windows at once so a small monitor is fine. I'm using a 15" now and would rather have that, but I don't think I'll find one.

can that samsung 920T be removed from it's stand?

i too am looking for a 17" LCD montior that i can slide into 1U of space, or maybe 2U if that is the smallest i can get.

any suggestions?

regards,

richie.

Yeah, apparently there was some web special for $740 but if you're a business you can qualify for additional discounts. And yes, I bought them together, but I'm 99% sure that I would have received the same price if I'd only bought one.
