(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best computer monitor accessories

Ouf, concussions can really get rough.

Had a minor concussion a few years back that I still feel effects from, actually :/ there are times where I just can't even look at my computer screen without getting severe headaches and feeling like I'm going to vomit. It's terrible.

No clue what the severity is, but highly recommend installing a blue light filter, or having something like this on your phone/computer. It REALLY helped recovery and with post-concussion syndrome!

Grats on getting to play in the playoffs, good luck next season, and good luck with the recovery!

I'm confused are you asking or telling?

Every panel is different (even two panels that are the exact model will need different calibration settings) and each users preferences will also be different, if the blue light reduction looks good to you go for it.

There are numerous calibration sites to help you get started here is one I've used in the past http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/

If you are doing professional work then I highly recommend you buy a calibration tool like this http://www.amazon.com/ColorVision-S2EL100-Spyder-3-Elite/dp/B000X4X35C

sRGB is a standard color space/spectrum. There is also adobeRGB etc etc... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_color_spaces_and_their_uses

Again some of your questions seems like statements and I'm not really sure what you're looking for.

If you have a specific question maybe put a question mark at the end of the sentence...

Good luck.

Just purchased and used both of these for SF 1Up mod with M170ETN01.1 monitor. . Joystick and encoders worked great with PI or Windows. Easy swap out of the control panel.

I have several pet clinics as clients. Is there a good way to protect my desktops and tower servers from hair and dander?

​

Possibly something like this? https://www.amazon.com/water-resistant-smooth-antistatic-computer/dp/B00DTGG0WY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1551112779&sr=1-1&keywords=pc+cover

Did they update to Windows 10 yet? In the notification area there is “night mode” on my personal windows 10 pro laptop, unsure if it’s enabled for Windows 10 Enterprise.

If the comm desk doesn’t approve, then maybe this is a good shot. It’s just like a privacy filter, albeit for eye strain. Worth a shot.

This [monitor cover]
(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q6IDLTM/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IM3O97W9QYALO&colid=2GCDSOB8RB4XI) is absolutely adorable, I think it's really cute. c: Because who says computer setups can't be Awwdorable

If you have the funds I would at least invest in an enclosure if the hard drives get any regular use. With docks the HDDS are exposed so there is a greater chance of static electricity taking out one of your drives. At least try and invest in a dock with a fan I would say. I just purchased this off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H91BYDK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It seems like a decent enclosure and reasonably priced although I have not had a chance to use it yet.

I have the same sort of problem. Large case on a small desk, and trying to clear some desk real estate.

There are under desk attachments like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Allcam-Under-desk-Holder-mount-Black/dp/B074XD7PM9/

And there are floor stands like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-Stand-Casters-towers-Black/dp/B000K67ZD4/

Not made a decision on either yet, so will be interested to see what other people are doing.

As much as I love an overengineered solution, I'd just clip one of these to each of my monitors:

http://amzn.com/B008AWOGWS

Something like this might be a more cost effective option; basically the same stuff as you put on a phone, just larger:

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Widescreen-Desktop-Monitor-ViewSonic/dp/B072MRFCWW/

Heck - you might look into also some of those protective films used by glass companies; though I don't know how easy they are to remove and replace.

It's actually white 😔 im sorry but I can give you the brand. Or I can one up and tell you the rgb light are the hue lightstrips they literaly will change an entire rooms color. I have a ton of rgb and these rock. OR this is 13.00$ they actually look https://www.amazon.com/Moonse-Waterproof-Dustproof-Decoration-Protector/dp/B00Q6IDLTM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=54479552125&hvadid=274871156603&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=200510&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=10333001295588758916&hvtargid=kwd-297657010223&hydadcr=12163_10197799&keywords=pink+computer+monitor&qid=1568198372&s=gateway&sr=8-3😎

I use this on my SP2 and working fine ... It's only dual display but very stable.

Get a privacy screen for your monitor. It obscures the view from any angle except straight on.

Also, once you have 18 months in on the job, start looking for another. Better title, better pay.

Spending your days doing nothing is hurting you as much as it's hurting your employer, because you're not gaining any real skills or expanding your knowledge.

LMAO.

I seriously can't stop fucking laughing, kek.
You need to turn the screen on, brah, or buy one of these Anti Glare(Matte) Screen Protector.

There are actually 5 Monitor outs [VGA, 2x DVI, 2x Displayport] but only 2 can be used at once because the internal graphics card of the W510 can only support two monitors at once. The Dell monitor all the way to the left is run off of this: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-UV-16-Plus-Display-100-U2-UV16-A1/dp/B00191GZ8U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320248452&sr=8-2

Personally I have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-SuperSpeed-Docking-Station-Cooling/dp/B0055PL2YI/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1397139069&sr=8-6&keywords=esata+dock

And I built one of these for cheaper:
http://www.amazon.com/Image-Mechanics-IMA904800F003-Pro-Storage/dp/B004PKUTT8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397139100&sr=8-2&keywords=prostorage

Stuff from here:

And built inside a plywood box with a lid.

I keep the drives under my desk at work and take them home once a month to sync up the changes with my ZFS array.

Hard disks in storage should keep their data for many many years. In fact I have a 6GB HDD from 1998 that I actually tried booting the computer it was in (Win98) around 2 years ago and it it powered on and everything seemed to work fine. So that disk has lasted at least 1998-2012 (14 years).

Hard disks should last much longer than burned BluRay disks. Not sure how they would compare to tape though, but a tape drive is very expensive. I'm sure you could do research on how long drives without power last.

My backup itself is not redundant. I do keep checksums on my backup disks of all the files and verify them from time to time so if I did encounter bit rot or something I could replace the file from my array. The really important irreplaceable data I keep 3 copies of, but most of it is media that I could reacquire if I really had to (if it bit-rotted or failed to restore from backup for some reason) so I am OK with one non-redundant copy of that data.

https://www.amazon.com/Glare-Screen-Protector-Touch-Laptop/dp/B00TE9TZ0E. Took me a while to attach it properly bit it looks really nice.

Yeah I’d bring it up to HR and you can get a privacy screen on Amazon for ~$60

Looks useful if you use your computer once a month

I have the power setting set up good.
What happens when a title doesn't work is, it leaves the loading box active without displaying the software.
The title will load on the native monitor display, as usual, and the hmd rotation happens on the monitor, but the hmd only displays Loading ...and the title.

I'm thinking about trying one of these

A quick google search for "macbook lcd controller board" showed many promising results, here is one: https://www.amazon.com/Controller-LP141WX3-B154EW02-LP154W01-1280x800/dp/B07C9MQZ82/

This reminds me of my setup at home. I just attached a mirror that clamps to the top of my monitor and I can see behind me just fine. Any motion gets my attention right away. It's this one

no, get a good 1440p or 4k IPS display with a good enough graphics card, and buy a spyder :

http://www.amazon.com/ColorVision-S2EL100-Spyder-3-Elite/dp/B000X4X35C

calibrate that bad boy up, you will be in pretty good shape, apple monitors are spectacular, no question, but they are not the end all be all.

Surprisingly, this solution is much more expensive.

Found this on Amazon, no idea if it's the right size, price, or any good.

https://www.amazon.com/Screen-Protector-Compatible-Widescreen-Desktop/dp/B06WGNYG96?th=1&psc=1

you probably also want a rear-view mirror for your monitor
e.g.
http://www.amazon.com/Clip-On-Mirror-Monitors-Anywhere-Modtek/dp/B008AWOGWS

Found the Spyder you're looking for boss!

cover your screen in honey. or get a Screen Guard

www.amazon.com/Image-Mechanics-IMA904800F003-Pro-Storage/dp/B004PKUTT8 plus a bankers box of your choice.

Not that I know of. It's for this reason really color-anal people buy the the same monitor so that the settings are the same. Across different monitor brands, it's almost impossible to exactly calibrate them to the same color/brightness settings without one of these which gets the actual output of the monitor externally.

Got them on Amazon! Sorry, I can’t find the My Melody one. :( I’m just letting you know that it’s actually really tight, I had to force my bf to put it on my monitors cuz he was against it 😂

Get a screen attachment that filters out the light.

It's cheaper and you don't have to worry about violating AR 670-1.

My office recently renovated our cubicles and the three new cubicles for me and my co-workers were all back-on.

Before the renovations started, me and my co-workers demanded that we get some privacy. We occasionally deal with confidential stuff... and it's just shitty to be back-on. So, my manager looked into some options and the cubicle supplier had a ready-made solution. This is what mine look likes.

The door makes a world of difference and it didn't cost my department very much more.

I also have a couple extra things that I've bought myself. One is a little push-button "doorbell". It doesn't make any noise, but it lights up bright-blue LEDs under my monitor.

Another is a simple mirror. More often than not, I know someone's coming to my cubicle before they even push the doorbell.

The 212 is a 2 bay NAS, not 4 bay. And it comes with a tiny CPU, so I wouldn't expect the performances to be impressive.

I'm Canadian, but I haven't shopped for NAS for a while now.

Just looking on Amazon.ca, I find stuff for cheaper :

A Sinology for $216, a Buffalo for $140 and a Startech for $110. No idea how the specs compare, but it seems the Netgear is priced quite high.

I have a concern about the HDMI monitor converter they are offering. There are more than one converter board out there, and they are designed to match different monitors. Arcade1Up cabinets do not all have the same display. Very similar, but there are a few different ones. As I understand it, if you get the wrong hdmi converter board, it can damage the display. Unless they know something I don’t, I don’t understand how they can sell just one converter for all Arcade1up models.

The “right” thing to do is look at the back of your display and find the model number. It’s a pretty big sticker. My centipede cabinet has M170ETN01 1. Then, search Amazon for “hdmi controller <model number>. That’s how I found this. Notice how it has the display model number in the product description:

I used to do industrial IT work. Electronics mfgs use dust bags, not air filters in dirty environments. You can buy them online.

Get one of those mirrors you can stick on your monitor. It will let you see behind you. Here's a link to one on amazon. I bet you can find them cheaper at an office supply store. Sorry for crappy formatting; I'm on mobile.

Clip on mirror (amazon)

I do videography, but I'm more into audio, but I could even see that shit was way off. Does nobody own an octopus there? Or were those motion graphics presented and then filmed?

Also, I don't remember the brand and model name... that's just what we used to call them before they changed the device. :P
