New take on an old idea

[hershy314]

This is by far not a new idea, but I think I added a little twist to it. I know some people use a dual monitor set up. So this is my take on that. Almost wish I had this in my living room.

I would be all over that. I have no actual need for it, but that has never stopped me from getting a toy I want. Need this.

That was the whole point of this concept. There is no real need for it, but someone will want it regardless.

Made a small change. Instead of having the computer part out in the open I made it as if it is now part of the coffee table. Cleans things up a bit.

My back would be in agony after working over that for 10 minutes. It would look cool as a coffee table, but it's definitely not meant for serious work. I'll pass unless I just inherited a lot of money and was spending it like a drunken sailor. ;-)

Not a bad idea... maybe reposition of table monitors to upright position and angled to face user . An additional main monitor in center. Love the glass keyboard.... spilled drinks and crumbs between keys a thing of the past.

3 Monitors - RADICAL.......

Where do I sign up for this?.........

Make it like an old-fashioned drafting table, e.g., http://images.versatables.com/products/006_Basic_Drafting_Table_48x30_V1.2_0000.jpg.

This thing would certainly be something that only those with deep enough pockets could get. It has no real purpose other than to look cool. I like the drafting board idea and having the monitors on the table tilt up toward the user. I might try to work on those ideas when I get home.

Took the idea of the drafting table and came up with this.

so far the coffee table is staying as is. haven't found anything that I can do to it that I like.

I love your concepts and hate to keep being a nay-sayer, but I can't imagine using a see-through monitor (ie, LCD screen without the backlight assembly) for any purpose, either business or pleasure, and especially not for Photoshop or any artistic work where uniformity of illumination and well controlled color are absolutely essential.

Sincerely,

"The old grump" ;-)

 

[hershy314]

I totally agree with what you're saying about these concepts. The coffee table idea is for the person who has everything. Having a see through monitor in like a window over looking a warehouse or something could be useful in away. I do have a more practical use that I'm trying to figure out how to do in Photoshop. Some reason my brain is stuck in the future.

Ok this will give the idea of what I am thinking. Watch the window on the fridge.
