Just rigged up my new 27" widescreen monitor and damn i can see better .. its like HID's for my eyes :rofl: :rofl: just being nosey .. what have you lot got?

none of the above :p

 

15.4" widescreen on my laptop, has to be said i really like the widescreen ratio, its good for everyday use and brilliant for gaming. I would prefer a 5:4 for programming though, having no height is an annoyance in that situation.

Not tried the gaming aspect yet but cant wait to get my SLI rig up n running again

23" Widescreen Mac Cinema Display, nearly bought the 30" when i got the G5 but thought that might be overkill lol

Agreed, you need the height for programming, although you could always go dual head with one monitor stacked on top of the other. Mmm... dual 27 inch flat panel monitors.

Dude, you should know by now that when it comes to monitors there's no such thing as overkill, except on your bank balance.

there is imo, the lab mac machines at uni have the 23" cinema displays, and imo they are too large. 27" must be ridiculous, do you sit 4ft away from the thing to see the whole picture!

I don't like big monitors, the resolution is nowhere near high enough, makes everything huge like its for the visually impaired or something, not to mention being able to see the individual pixels.

For programming my favourite setup has to be dual head 17" TFT's, have what you are working on on one screen and use the other for reference, look at another part of your code, an API, or a compiler.

 

Gaming is superb on widescreen though, on almost all games, it simply gives you a wider field of view, so you can see more, a more natural look imo, not to mention having an advantage over square box viewers :p

19" widescreen at home

wheres the option for 30" apple cinema display?

I actually have a dual screen facility on my computer and can display on my 42" Plasma Screen.............does that count?

I used to have dual 17s and liked it, for just the same reasons. Then one day our sysadmin gave me a couple of 19s. It's just like having two 17s but even better. Seriously, I'd recommend it. I always work at the highest resolution I can get away with and 1280 x 1024 on a 19 is much easier on the eyes than it is on a 17.

 

Also, if you went REALLY large and could sit further away it would mean your eyes were more relaxed when working, which I don't think would be a bad thing at all.

 

Worth giving it a go if you can persuade your company to shell out anyway. You can always switch back if you don't like it.
