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?

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.Originally posted by doodab View PostI have a 24" 1920x1200 monitor on my desk.

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.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I have 2 of the Dell 27" that I bought last September. Looks like they have dropped £100 ex vat since then.
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?Last edited by Scrag Meister; 6 July 2012, 06:55.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

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...
