Looking for monitor recommendations
Looking for monitor recommendations
(OP)
I've been using a CRT monitor for a number of years and am looking to change to a flat screen to use with SW. I'm asking if people can make some recommendations that you are happy with. Thanks!

Out of curiosity, how old is your monitor?

With the combination of my eyesight waining and the quality of the monitor, I've got
to make a change. Since I posted this top last evening I've been reading good things
about the Dell Ultrasharp 2412.
RE: Looking for monitor recommendations
I did some research for myself a couple of years ago and below is what I found to be the best way to consider buying a new monitor(s).
*LCD monitors types:
TN (Twisted nematic) - Usually these are the cheap monitors which turn out to be not such a good choice.
VA (Vertical alignment) - Medium priced, good but with deep blacks
IPS (In-plane switching) - Usually more expensive, but at a responsible price,quality a lot better than the two above
PLS (Plane-line switching) - New type of technology, has higher brightness with lower power consumption.
*Always go with LED backlighting.
*Response time is unimportant because anything lower than 12ms our eyes cannot track it.
*Recommended resolution recommended 1920 x 1080

Nice setup.

The Dell UltraSharp's are nice. IPS displays at 16:10 aspect ratios. All our engineers have dual 24", 16:10, Dell UltraSharps.

For the last part of my tenure with SW, back in 2010, I had IT remove all the corporate crapware from my SW computer and put it on an older surplus machine, so I had two computers and three monitors on my desk.

a 27 inch would be a bit big on my desktop. Too bad I couldn't try a 27 inch.. kind of take it for
a test ride. At any rate, at this point, anything a bit more "modern" than what I have would be
good. Thanks again.
