New monitorJuly 4, 2014Since I first tweeted our new monitors at BrandNewPixels , I received several questions what exact model it is and why we chose it. 140 characters are a too few to elaborate on these questions, so I'm throwing out this short blog post.The model is the LG 34UM95 and you can use the magic of Google to find out all the technical details. Here is what mattered to me the most: the resolution is 3.440 x 1.440 which is the exact pixel height of the 27inch iMac that I used before. It even has the same pixel density, in other words the actual screen height in cm is the same. The ''only'' difference is the 880 pixels added to the width and this is a really really really good difference.Working in Cinema 4D, for instance, is a totally different experience. You'll have a hard time trying to fill up the complete width of the UI with custom buttons. There's just so much space.Currently I have the content browser / render settings and queue / help with its separate space in the layout.After Effects is nice as well.
Jason is always there when I need him. In several emergency situations, he (and Renee) came through with flying colours. It doesn't matter the time of day or the short deadline, he stays calm and collected and solves the issues. He was able to get very good rates even when the insurance required was outside of the normal requirements. I have recommended him to family, friends and clients for their insurance needs and he has always come through. Thanks Jason.Read more
