when looking for a monitor above 24" I would recomend going for a Resolution of 2560x1400 for a 27" & 2560x1600 for 30" Dell & HP have good monitors. They may cost alot more however think of it as an investment.

just wait and save up and buy a decent one.

Studio North: do you mean 2560x1440, because there is no such thing as 2560x1400.

I also have a Samsung P2770 (bought when my wife 'stole' my 24inch monitor to go to a dual monitor setup) and it works great for me

I don't want 2 monitors, so a single 27inch model just what I need... plenty of room for PPro, or I can have a Word document and a Text file open and side by side

John,

That is personal taste and there is no discussing taste. However, from my perspective, and that is personal, I prefer 3840 x 1080 resolution with dual monitors over 1920 x 1080 with a single monitor, but that is because I very often have Firefox, Filezilla, Dreamweaver and some other applications open at the same time, switching between the Adobe forums, Gmail accounts, Notebook results from the PPBM5 data submissions, PPBM5 form submissions, MySQL access, phpadmin pages to update the database, the PPBM5 results pages and various DW .php pages for the maintenance of our database and switching back and forth between various versions of PR. I occasionally really run out of real estate with all these applications and could not consider a single monitor with only 1920 x 1080 resolution, even if it were a 105" screen. In the future I would even like to have a four monitor setup (with MPE hardware support) in a two by two configuration, so that I can freely move my application screens around.

If that happens, notice I say if and not when, my preference for a monitor would be something like 4 Samsung F2380 monitors. Small bezel, great display and panel, affordable.

Yes... personal taste (and office cabinet design) means that I only use one monitor

When I am using PPro I have nothing else open... my current Win7 64bit computer would probably allow me to multi-task OK, but I just got in the habit of doing ONLY video when I am editing

When not in PPro, I often have a half dozen programs open to switch between tasks

Right now, I'm working on a novel, so have Word open for writing and a Text file beside it for plot & cast notes... Samsung 27inch works great for that

Well, which do you want? Good, or inexpensive?
