Dual monitor recomendation?

[s0urce]

I've got a decent setup here. I'm constantly multitasking with work stuff on this pc, so it's crucial I have at least 3 monitors.

I've had the Dell 2005FPWs (on right and on left) for several years now, and they produce fairly accurate color. I have the LG 1920x1080 resolution screen now because I needed something HDCP compatible and something with multiple inputs (hdmi + DVI). Now I can play ps3 , and toggle back to the PC at the same desk :)

I have a 23" Hannspree that I've been very happy with for the price, they're only like $169 on newegg. (Under the name Hanns-G) My only complaint is a little bit of light wash out on the top and bottom but you can only notice it on black scenes in a movie. P.s. 1920x1080/1200 is plenty of resolution unless you're sitting 4 inches from your screen. Eventually I'd like to get another one of these and stick a big LCD TV between them.

I'd get 3 of these bad boys if I was you.

Hello,

I am running two of the Dell 24" models set to there highest resolutiuon and a 3rd 32" for video conf. I have not sued any of the LED monitors but with any new tech I would waite for them to settle out on price and functions.

I cant remember the models we use here, but we go through monitors like they're fucking disposable cameras here at my job. I'll get you some model numbers in a bit...
But basically, we have foudn that running Dell 1908FPW's seems to get the best image for the buck. I use 2 widescreens on my new E series laptop. I actually downgraded from 4 1708FP's on a Dell optiplex to this. Love it. The widescreens have a thin surrounding bezel, sit nice next to each other, fully adjustable. Thats all I got for ya..

I was going to bid on this one, but it looks like seaman stains on the screen. Apparently, they are etched into the surface and won't come out.

^What exactly is your total budget here? That would help tremendously.

Also, these guys know their shit:

Refresh rate on LCDs can be set to 60Hz and you won't notice unless you have REALLY sensitive eyes.

Sorry. $250 to $600. I'll get what I need, not what I want.

go triple.

A 21" 4:3(non-widescreen) monitor is about 16" by 12". I'll cut some cardboard and put it in front of my monitors and see, but quick measurements show that 3 would be too wide.

And my software really only likes 2 monitors, and I have to have one of a dozen supported video cards for my main editing app: Avid.

I'll stick with 2. Besides, that what the laptop off to the side is for.

I am just picking up new ones myself - I am ending up getting Samsung syncmaster 2494

dual 24" widescreen - for me to go widescreen I felt the need for at least 24" - I mainly use AutoCad - Photoshop - illustrator - sketchup - 24" gives me plenty of horizontal space with the needed vertical space

209.99 a piece at Tigerdirect / compusa 5ms, 50,000:1 contrast ratio - only down side is dvi (no hdmi) but for me it doesn't matter - they are for work.

I'm on dual 23" widescreens, 1920x1080 x2. Soda + DVD case for reference, although they are set slightly as a V towards me. 42" end-to-end for both screens (I had planned on a sharper V when I bought them to save on space, but had enough room to keep them almost straight). 29" end-to-end on the bases.

AOC 2330V, Mainly got them because Costco had it locally for $170 each (free shipping online doesn't apply out here, so this saved me a bunch). VGA + DVI, no hdmi (only came with a vga cable though). The button on one was loose out of the box but I never bothered to exchange it, it works, just feels different from the other monitor, kinda cheapy.

I've got two Samsung 906BW's. I absolutely love them, but they are 19's and 1440x900. So I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

I absolutely love my Dell 2408WFP, I have one but I know that 2 would complete me.
