For all those curious about the FedEx/Sun monitor debacle, FedEx picked up the broken Sun and told the seller that they were accepting the damage claim. The seller returned my money. Two days later, FedEx denied the claim. I had a monitor shop look at it and the mainboard is cracked clean through, obviously due to the fact that it was dropped from a height. I grabbed another GDM-5410 from Mirage Monitors. It was For all those curious about the FedEx/Sun monitor debacle, FedEx picked up the broken Sun and told the seller that they were accepting the damage claim. The seller returned my money. Two days later, FedEx denied the claim. I had a monitor shop look at it and the mainboard is cracked clean through, obviously due to the fact that it was dropped from a height. I grabbed another GDM-5410 from Mirage Monitors. It was shipped Airborne Ground and arrived safely. In an interesting discussion with the proprietor, I found out that they’ve gone through three shipping companies; UPS had ~$250,000 in damage claims over one year, FedEx had ~$500,000. So far, Airborne is the best, with ~$65,000 YTD. He caught the FedEx drivers literally throwing boxed monitors into their trucks because they were pissed that they had to pick up heavy items. I also picked up a Radeon VE to drive both GDM-5410s at 1920x1440x16 at 75Hz. Unfortunately, the VE isn’t the best card…. The primary display was fuzzy, and no manner of driver tweaking could resolve that. I put the reliable-but-somewhat-anemic G450 back into soul and brought up both displays at 1920x1440x16, but the second display will only hit 60Hz, which hertz the eyes. *cough* I’m looking at the P650 or P750 from Matrox since I’ve had great luck with the G450. We’ll see what the budget permits. I must say that having all that desktop real estate (3640x1440px) really makes a difference. I can’t go back now. I’m also looking into some dual-headed KVM switches.
