What Monitors do you have, size, specs - Led or LCD ?

What about VESA mounts ? Which displays are vesa compatible ?

 

I thought so too, until I noticed its the same width as the u3011 and a whole lot shorter with lower resolution.

yuck.

 

That is a very important question to ask. I learned that the hard way but got lucky.

Alternatively buy 2 second hand Dell 20" 4:3 aspect ratio for USD 75 each

 

You got very very lucky

 

I thought traders are practical type. Are we?

29" monitor, 2560 x 1080 resolution. $699 on sale $630.

Acer S211HL 21" LED monitor, 1920 x 1080. $115.

For $515 more, you are buying an additional 640 x 1080 screen space. About 33% more.

Say you want 8 monitors. 1920 x 8 = 15360.
For 2560, it is equivalent of 6 x 29" monitors.

6 x $630 = $3780
8 x $115 = $920

For the same purpose.

Out of the over 1 million colors you can display on the monitor, you will be using 256 of them for your charts.

 

This is what I am using as a monitor:

$220. 32". Native resolution 1920x1080.

My brother is a snob, so he looks at it and sneers that it is not optimal. Looks sharp as a tack for me.

 

No doubt! Luckily a guy in Canada made a Vesa adapter for my particular monitor. It added to the cost, but now I know going forward. Everything else being equal, get the monitor w/ Vesa holes already there! One less thing to worry about.

 

Usually, the specs section of the monitor you're looking at will tell you if it's VESA mount compatible on the DELL site, but sometimes it doesn't. (I once bought an "S" series which is NOT vesa compatible).

When reviewing monitors, third party vendors are sometimes more reliable. For example, the specs section of TigerDirect and Provantage will provide the info regarding if it's VESA compatible.

Currently, I'm looking into upgrading some of my older monitors to the "P" series monitors from DELL, which all are VESA mountable.

 

I've tried them all.

24" is the sweet spot.

Although I'd like to get a 27" for my main monitor
