Digital Home Thoughts: EVGA Introduces The Dual Monitor Interview

"EVGA's Interview Dual Monitor System incorporates a pair of 17" widescreen LCDs with an innovative rotatable stand that allows the user to flip a panel over to share a desktop display with someone sitting across from them on the other side of the desk. These twin TFT displays support a native resolution of 1440X900 and rotate 180 degrees vertically and 90 degrees horizontally."

Watching the review provided by HotHardware, I have to agree with their conclusion that the EVGA Interview is targeted towards businesses and institutions. The Interview is designed to save space and time with its ability to switch from a dual monitor to a desktop sharing device and the premium it charges makes its value for a regular consumer questionable. Gamers tend to be very particular about their monitors with a focus on low latencies and a high screen resolution. Developers and others who deal with a lot of data also tend to favour higher resolution displays. Even accepting these limitations, the one thing I find lacking with the EVGA Interview is the ability to rotate the monitors. The twisting and turning seems useful, but I believe the ability to rotate one or both of the monitors into portrait mode much more valuable.
