Big monitors

[tranceporter]

2560X1440 isn't Quad HD (4K UHD), 3840x2160 is.

Are you ready for this (8K UHD)?

Thanks for clearing that up. I have my old acer LCD monitor displaying 1920 x 1080 which I use for gaming with gigabyte super oc gtx 470. Doing good for now, but wound upgrade to one of the 27" Korean monitors in future.

Eyefinity is the way to go.

I've got a triple screen Eyefinity setup with a fourth monitor for my server.

I'm running a Radeon HD7970 3GB Graphics card and 3 x Iiyama E2481HS monitors which have ultra slim bezels. I have the display set so it automatically compensates for bezel width. The stands are MDM series from AllCam.

The screen on the wall at the back is just a TV.

Nice setup.

Those monitors look kind of high up?

Nope, the tops of the monitors are only 23" above the desk and my line of sight is 2/3 of the way up the screen. I have put them there so that I have to hold my head up slightly and avoid slouching - after back problems from hunching my shoulders over badly positioned monitors for years I find this is very comfortable.

I have just realised that my Lenovo T420s has a DisplayPort (I was not aware of this before) , I assumed it was HDMI, like my older Dell 1550.

My HP S2031a does not have DisplayPort, but can I get an adapter or better to simply get a better monitor?

I've just picked up one of these:
DGM IPS-2701WPH 27" LED Widescreen Professional Monitor - Black [IPS-2701WPH]

And couldn't go back to 1080 again after having seen what these 2560x1440 panels are like. World of difference!

Another +1 for the 27" DGM. Exactly the same panel as Dell and I've had zero problems with it over the last 6 months - yes the stand is a bit flimsy and it doesn't rotate or do any fancy stuff but if you just want a cheap 2560x1440 IPS panel display, this is the one to choose IMO.

Also agree there is a TON of difference between 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 and I'd never want to go back. If you work in IT and screen real estate is important to you, get one of these and you'll never look back.

Over compensating for something?

I've been considering one of these instead of a dual monitor setup

Then you're mental!

LG 29EA93-P resolution - 2560 x 1080

That's barely more than a single Dells 27"er.
