Monitor issue

[Bernard Aschwanden]

I'm using the UltraSharp 2007WFP Wide Flat Panel with Height Adjustable Stand (copied that right from the Dell site) and it's fantastic. The price is currently around US$549, but the wide aspect helps with a "place" to store designers, catalogs, structure view and so on. I recommend this one.

I'm looking to get a new 30" model as soon as it drops under 1K just so that I can see two 8.5/11 pages, at 100%, side by side. The current monitor lets me see two at 80% without an issue, so if your fonts and layout are set up right, the wide monitor may be a real benefit.

Compare the 20, 24 and 30 here: http://tinyurl.com/fzceg

By the way, we bought a second system that uses the same monitor and watch movies, play video games and so on with no issues. It's not a "big screen TV" but still really nice.

The only caveat is that you really should get a video card that supports DVI-D to take best advantage.

Hope that helps,

Bernard

Hi Framers,

After four years of operation, my Dell monitor, Model D1626HT just went south. So if 
I may, I'd like to solicit your thoughts on a high quality 20" monitor that won't 
bankrupt my resources. Are today's LCD monitors in the $350-$500 price range up to 
the task, or does one have to spend over $1000 for equivalent results?

I do a great deal of work in Photoshop and of course FrameMaker, using WinXP Pro, SP2.

Many thanks in advance,
George
