For me a good monitor is an essential part of a good computer setup and for many years now I have always spent a good sum of money on the monitor for my systems. In the old days (I was born in 1977 so this may be relative) it was Iiyama Vision Master Pros and then more recently 21" IBM & Dell CRTs and for the last 2 years or so my monitor of choice has been the Dell 2405FPW 24" Widescreen TFT (superceded by the 2407WFP). Which is absolutely brilliant!

A while ago Dell then launched a 30" widescreen TFT the 3007WFP-HC and I was immediately tempted, however, the hefty £1,200 price tag plus the need for a new expensive graphics card put it out of reach, for now?!

And when I get to that point where I decide that my 24" monitor just isn't big enough, or more likely, can afford it, the 30" Dell is going to have a run for it's money... Why? Digital Tigers that's why!

Take a look at these...

Digital Tigers are an American outfit that supply amazing multi-screen LCD displays in a truly bewildering array of configurations.

The first display configuration pictured above consists of 1 x 30" center panel and 2 x 20.1" rotated side panels giving a total resolution of 4960x1600 and costs $3,999. The second configuration is the same but with 4 rotated side panels giving a total screen real-estate of 7360x1200 pixels and costs a whopping $4,999!

Well, one of these is definitely on my Christmas wish list although with two babies to provide for I have a feeling nappies, clothes and toys will be of greater demand than such luxuries!
