bethohio3 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I have dual monitors--a 21" and a 17". I haven't taken any pictures of them lately :-), but I don't see anything suprising about it! --Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 The images are much too straight and aliased, plus too vivid to be a real photo of a monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YMe369 Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Why? whats so weird about 2 monitors? i got 3 on 1 machine... 1x21" 1x17" 1x15" If only I could find my camera, then i could enter too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 No no...it has nothing to do with there being two monitors there. It's the image on the screens. They don't look real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEO Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 They don't look real. There not. He needs some help from greatfolios sysop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatfolios sysop Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Ok, First let me say that fakes are allowed.... (by my understanding) {quote} greatfolios sysop Posted: Mar 19 2003, 10:05 PM So how about the most excessive use of commas in a post? how about the most mis-spelled words in a site? (ok, so I like the idea about the desk pix, but It could be a bit staged, don't you think?) Mr. Bill lstover Posted: Mar 19 2003, 10:07 PM stage away. He gave me no indication as to his judgment or anything. He said the only rule was to have tch on the monitor in the picture (and you have to be a forum member). Now I do think that they are fakes, for following reasons (some have already been stated). The sony is a curved monitor the image is not. the reflections at the top underside of the sony frame do not line up with what is on screen, the panasonic is a smaller screen and is most likely not set to the same resolution as the sony but the images are the same (just a guess 1280*1024), and furthermore the most obvious sign is the fact that the taskbar is completely invisible (autohide leaves a grey line across the bottom of the screen). and since an image edit software was used to put the TCH logo on the bottom right of the picture, we know the image was edited a bit at least. I should spend more time marketing my website, I have too much fun in here.... it's all in fun.... Mr. Bill edit: I'm still not sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray J Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Wow...I didn't think I'd get so many responses. I did not try to fool anyone here.... sorry if you all thought that I was trying that. All I did was follow the rules but make it so that tch was very noticable. I think that it worked. I do graphics for a living and this took about 3 minutes to do. I know they look fake but I figured it wasn't a rule to make it real. It's the concept that counts right. I will post the real picture if everyone wants me to. Thanks for the replies. And I must say that you all have good eyes for detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lianna Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 NO!!!! Mr. Bill..... I didn't think that I would have to completely spell this out but here goes: The INTENT of the requirement for having TCH web page displayed on your monitor was to provide some way to PREVENT FAKES!!!! We want to see the REAL work areas of our family and friends..... Thanks. Lianna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatfolios sysop Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 OOPS!!! sorry, I mis-understood the "stage away" comment in your post.... I sit corrected.... Mr. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lianna Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 that's ok. By 'stage away' and by your original statement that the pix could be staged, I was thinking in terms of 'the desk' and 'the workspace' being staged. So, my vision from your question was the use of additional props, etc to sway the vote of Head Guru. Like blatant occurences of "TCH Rocks" on notepads and bulletin boards and the like. Just a different interpretation of the same scenario. I am sorry that I misunderstood your original comment and also that I wasn't more clear in my explanation.....
