Organize/sort misc screens

[klwadland]

Keep ones which are still useful/compatible with computers in the lab so they can be used to set up computer stations for people as needed/requested. Put ones which are no longer of use in e-waste.

[cosmojg]

So what's the final verdict on this? Should I move all of the screens into storage since they all work?

[cosmojg]

@klwadland Let's close this out the next time we're both in the office.

[klwadland]

Sounds good.

@klwadland I'm having a lot of trouble making it into lab while you're around. Can we manage this asynchronously? What would you like to do? Aside from being dinosaurs, all of the monitors function (well, some are loud, and they all consume a grotesquely large amount of power), we just need to put them somewhere.

[klwadland]

Are any of the monitors something that someone would like to use or are they all horrible to look at in terms of graphics quality?

@klwadland Ah, oof, I forgot to take note of the resolutions when I looked at them. If I recall correctly, some of them aren't the best, more of a last resort kind of thing. In your opinion, what's the minimum passable resolution? 1280x720p? 1920x1080p?

This would be a nice, concrete criterium for sorting, keeping, and chucking.

[klwadland]

@Cosmo I'm not sure just from the numbers what would be a good minimum resolution for a screen. That might require a visual test first to find a screen that's bad vs good and then compare their resolutions for use in the future as the minimum passable resolution.

Personally, due to my terrible eyesight, I refuse to work with anything less than ~1920x1080p, but I think ~1280x720p is okay for the average person, especially if it's a device that isn't used regularly (in other words, it's a fine resolution for a backup monitor). This is very much a subjective sort of thing.

Maybe I should stop being lazy, and we should just go through them together. Before moving forward with this, though, I need to make sure we have all the requisite cables at the ready. I'll report back when that's done.

[klwadland]

Ok. Sounds like a plan. Keep me posted.

We disposed a bunch at the end of May 2022.
