LCDs

[p0tat03]

Hey all,

I'm thinking about investing in an SFF, since I move around way too much and have no car. One of the problems that's keeping me from jumping on board is the lack of a display for the machine. I do a lot of 3D animation / game development work, so VNCing from my laptop is not really a solution.

Is there any LCDs that you can recommend that can fold up easily and endure frequent transit? The main problem with most LCDs is that the stand is bulky and gets in the way. Is there an LCD whose stand folds up nicely (I'm thinking picture frame style, but anything would do)?

What I'd recommend is an NEC LCD1765. It folds flat and has a glass cover over the screen (which makes it easier to clean). Shuttle has an LCD monitor with a handle, but apparently it exhibits horrible ghosting - obviously, I don't think you're keen on that!

There are LCD strap carrying cases. I have one for my 19" samsung 191T and it works wonderfully. It also nicely holds all the associated cables during transit. You can check them out at www.geargrip.com (where I got mine... there may be other manufactures). Anyway, I would highly recomend it. The quality is definitely there, and the price isn't too bad compared to the price of a nice LCD. I wouldn't take my LCD anywhere without it...
