I'm sure I'll get used to it but it seems a bit weird having all that horizontal space to play with compared to my old 1280x1024.

I went down this route as it's a standard 1080P HD resolution and it has an HDMI socket should I want to use with a console or bluray player with no borders.

The most important thing to remember with any monitor is to take a rest every 20 minutes, get up and walk around. Have a coffee, take a pee...
Eye strain (and resultant headaches) is usually caused by the muscles that control your lens staring at the same focal length for extended periods. Imagine holding your arm out for 2 hours and feeling the burn from that.
The reflective ones do present problems with reflective glare, however, correct positioning/lighting should cure this.

Reflective vs Non-Reflective TFT Monitors.
You know those new shiny-reflective TFT monitors that you reflect like a mirror ? I Hate them. I wonder if anyone has anything good to say about them at all. I am after a new TFT monitor and I am definetely getting non-reflective one.
The most important and only factor for me is "eye-friendliness" , that is , the level of strain the TFT puts on you eyes. I never had the newer-reflective ones , but they seem like if there is any light source behind you , you wouldnt see anything on the screen , making you stare more and your eyes tire sooner.
Hence I think reflective monitors are for movie and comuter game heads , but a no-no for the IT professional that values their eyes more than their monitor.Tags: None
