I run two of the Dells myself and personally would recommend getting a minimum of two. Can never have enough screen real estate. I like having one for Excel and the other for browsing and my IB TWS.
whst's your opinion of the SyncMaster 245BW 24" Widescreen @1920 x 1080, pro or con? http://www.pcworld.com/product/specs/prtprdid,37039204/specs.html what's a good video card for driving 2 or 4 of these?
I just bought the Samsung Syncmaster 244T and love it. It's got 11% more pixels than the 245 (1920x1200 vs 1920x1080) and a whole lot of different pluggie-innie ways to hook it up. Plus it's brighter (500 candelas vs 400). Customer reviews on lots of websites are quite good too.
Thanks for the reply. Here's a dilemma, this 28"Viewsonic (brand name too) is same price as the Samsung 24". Same brightness (500) Slightly less contrast. More real-estate for the price. 1920X1200. http://www.pcworld.com/product/specs/prtprdid,39392984/specs.html Pro's, Cons?
The Samsung has an S-PVA panel, the Viewsonic has a cheaper TN panel. Could make a difference or not, depending upon how sensitive you are to viewing angle and color fidelity.
