shellylh Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yeah, "plenty big" is 100" monitor 3" away from your face. But that would block the speakers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 But that would block the speakers! Just turn them up louder so the basses can come through good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postjack Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Finally time to replace my 24" Samsung 245BW. I believe I've had it for almost 8 years. A great monitor, a real classic TN, but it's really starting to hurt my eyes, and the colors look terrible. After, no kidding, years of research, I settled on the HP 27xi: http://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-27-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00B332A9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405638993&sr=8-1&keywords=hp+27xi Why the 27xi: -GLOSSY! So hard to find a glossy monitor. I know a lot of people hate glossy monitors, but my office at home has thick curtains, no worries about glare. And glossy monitors are so much easier on my eyes. -Regular ole' 1080. I don't need no fancy resolution. -Its bigger. Never had a 27" monitor. -Great reviews all around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Had to move the 1920x1200 to the work laptop, so I pulled out the LG 2560x1080 for the personal laptop -- this thing is nice! It's the little little brother of the "I'm done with 4K" ultrawide monitor (the regular little brother is the 34UM65, which is 2560x1080 @ 34", whereas mine is 2560x1080 @ 29"), the pixel pitch must be pretty damn high. I'll definitely be lusting after the 34UM65 for a while. I have definitely swung over to Dan's advice back when I first shopped the 2560 monitor many years ago (he recommended I get several 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 instead of one 2560x1600). ...with a caveat -- laptops usually only have one of certain ports (HDMI, DisplayPort), so maybe for a laptop "extension" screen -- one big one. Unless one very carefully selects one with a very capable docking station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
