Ah, but you don't seem to understand what the 23" Widescreen by Apple truly is until you get to sit in front of one....iblis wrote:am i missing something? i just see three monitors, and two computers.

And just think of all the internet porn you could watch at once 
seriously though, I so would like that exact set-up for my home work station.

Either way, it's sweet!

are you sure? based on scale and depth, when you compare the width to that of the keyboard, it doesn't look like it's 30".DarkVader wrote:Um, I think that's the 30" in the center...Sir Diddimus wrote:Ah, but you don't seem to understand what the 23" Widescreen by Apple truly is until you get to sit in front of one....iblis wrote:am i missing something? i just see three monitors, and two computers.

i could be wrong, of course. i only have the 17" on the imac ("lamp shade" model) at work.

Compare the relative height differences of the monitors at http://www.apple.com/displays/ - the 20" isn't that much taller than the 23", but the 30" is that much taller than the 23".iblis wrote:are you sure? based on scale and depth, when you compare the width to that of the keyboard, it doesn't look like it's 30".DarkVader wrote:Um, I think that's the 30" in the center...Sir Diddimus wrote: Ah, but you don't seem to understand what the 23" Widescreen by Apple truly is until you get to sit in front of one....

Art student rules:
As objects become more distant, they appear smaller, because their angular diameter (visual angle) decreases.
Experiment:
My flatscreen at work is 15" wide.
my keyboard is 17" inches wide.
From my normal sitting position with the ruler floating even with the back of the keyboard makes the monitor appear to measure 12" wide. So the monitor will always appear a few inches narrower than it acutally is when compared to the keyboard which is closer to us than the monitor.
The photo above was taken from 4.5 to 5.0 feet away,
when I measure proportions of my screen to my keyboard they match the proportions of the side monitors to the keyboard.
*******************************
Aside from that and speaking from a non-couputer geek perspective, the 3 monitors do look cool together, but I'd one all 3 to be like the one in the middle. Then it would remind me of the 3 panel mirrors you get to use when you go shopping.
