    Big screens

    I have a 24" 1920x1200 monitor on my desk. Should I get another one to go next to it (which will be a little cramped) or one of these 27" 2560x1440 ones?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    Got a link to decent examples? I have three monitors on my desk but only mouse and keyboard connected to the KVM so I can see what's happening. They're all 22" LED's 1920x1080.
    Me, me, me...

      I was thinking either

      24" Dell U2412M Widescreen LED, IPS Panel Monitor - Scan.co.uk

      or

      Dell 27" IPS Monitor A12 U2711 IPS Monitor - Scan.co.uk

      I can't really justify the extra for an Eizo.

        I like 2 screens, one with email & web searching. The other for coding.

        one big screen it gets messy.

            A lot of screen real estate, and a great piece of kit. Not cheap but in my opinion worth the money, especially after CT deduction and VAT reclamation as was part of a new company system purchase.

            Is it going to be a company or personal purchase?

              I've got three 24" Samsungs on my desk at home at around £200 each. Not too expensive but decent quality and no dead pixels.
              ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

                Company most certainly. It's for work.
