Title: 33,000' Office View
Post by: Boeing Skunk Works on November 25, 2009, 11:00:24 AM
Just a little PS to take out the monitor frames on this one.

I love using this 32" monitor. Most fun I've ever had with my clothes on!

Yeah, much better then the last one where you looked like you were ready to kill somebody!  Haha.

Nice side windows view.   Bet it wont be long and you will have 32 inch screens surrounding the whole cockpit....

Yeah, the wheels are really turning now.  ;D

You'd have to see the outside of the structure though. There's no way I could get one in front of the cockpit or one for the 45° views on either side. But for the 90° views I could do both sides.

Left side first though. Wal-Mart has a 32" Emerson on sale on Friday for $258. I can't swing it as I'm buying a com head from OC for on-line flying, and Scott's getting me a bag of stuff from Nick next week.

I'll just have to keep shuffling my TV back and forth. I'm sure I can pick up a cheap one after Christmas.

wow!  $258!   That almost makes it tempting over projectors (which I was thinking would be next for me).  I have 3 22" LCDs now but 3 32 would be incredible and probably completely fill the windscreen

The price is actually $248. It's a good deal for a sim, except it doesn't state in the ad if it has a PC input. It does say that it has an HDVI, or HDVM or whatever they call it. If your video card has that or an S video output you could use it.

I was going to buy it to use as my TV and use my current TV for the sim since I'm not sure about the PC input.

Really great photo but . . it must have been casual Friday in the "office"  Mike doesn't have a tie!      :laugh:

LOL Shane,  Some people don't wear ties to their office :) But that would have sold the story for sure

Hey Trevor . . I'm one of those not wearing a tie!  One plus of my job as an arson investigator . . I'm wearing comfortable clothes. . and ties only when in the courtroom.

Oh I know you were just jerking my chain . . if you can't have fun what's the point!   I was just rubbing it in a little that I didn't wear a tie very often. I like casual Friday being everyday!

LMFAO..  Yeah..  I agree with that..  Casual Friday everyday rocks! Although I am sure you get to come home pretty dirty some days :) Having fun is the whole point :)
