It's not compressed (well barely, maybe a few PSI depending on the container), and it's not at room temperature. It's extremely cold. The dewar is vented and some LN2 is constantly boiling off; this takes away the heat that slowly makes it's way into the dewar. I work with this stuff all the...

No, you don't really need it. I have it turned off for play on my 30" ACD.

Cool, it sounds like you definitely tried hard to find out, and I can understand your subsequent skepticism. However, there seems to be a lot of bad info out there since very few people, even the relevant engineers, have actually used one of the monitors with a top end graphics subsystem. I...

Lol, where to begin. First of all, you got 'talk' and 'walk' backwards. Secondly, I have already shown pics, on multiple occasions. When I first got this monitor over a year ago, when I was one of the very first in the entire world to have it, I posted on the fact that it could be driven from...

Wow, I go away for a few days, and an ignorant teenager slanders me all over the place, while placing a suspiciously advertisement-like post. You have been misled by the 'experts' at these companies; they don't know what they're talking about, and neither do you. Also, you could stand to...

No, you're wrong. I have an Apple 30" ACD and it runs fine at full res off a single 7800GTX or two in SLI.

Naw, just turn off the heater in your house and put on a sweater. Then you don't have to worry about condensation :p

What video card are you using?

FWIW, they have it in store in San Francisco.

What's the problem thought to be? Mine lists 59 Hz and 60 Hz, and it works fine at either. At what rate are people having problems?

Mine has never had this problem. I'd get it replaced.

IBM T221, 3840 x 2400 at 22.2".

Pros: obvious. Still the the biggest, excepting the IBM, which has an unacceptable refresh rate IMO. If you need the real estate as I do, nothing beats the 30ACD. That said, the contrast ratio could stand to be a lot better. It is acceptable, but not impressive. That's really the only thing...

Good idea, so i did that. Though I strongly advocate the 30" ACD, the Westy is definitely an excellent monitor. For me, highest resolution is still most important (I'd get the IBM uber-monitor if I could) but the Westy is no doubt an excellent solution where budget is high but not unlimited...

All depends on the intention of the system. Sometimes purely fast = 'high-end'. This beast is mostly for analyzing mass spectrometry data to identify proteins involved in different biological circuitry in cells, which is what I do professionaly. The app I run for that is kind of like folding...
