have the older 2405 and 2407's for years now, still happy with them not sure what the new models have over those older ones but I'll assume some modest improvement.
LOL its 1080 and shitty TN panel not IPS You spend all day watching screens why try and pinch bucks when it comes to your eye sight.. I own a few of those 2412Ms they are great monitors and 1080 is shit, you want 1920x1200.
if you have displayport in your computer, get apple LED 27 inch cinema screen, which has much better color gamut and resolution than crap 2412M which has only a gamut of 71% NTSC, 74.3% Adobe RGB.
I sit 3 ft away from the screen and my eyes love old school resolution with everything big as hell. It's funny how people buy into monitor bull$hit. The monitor does not make you more profitable, I can trade just as well using a 15 inch crt but the lcd and led are way easier on the eyes.
you have to be nuts to run 1024/768 total waste of real estate all you have to do is set the font size higher
Just maxed resolution out and maxed text size out and still too damn small. Perfect recipe for eye trouble I already run extra large font on 1024 setting
