Question
Summary: 2 smaller monitors vs. 1 larger
Lots of opinions on this one. (Some of you have some pretty generous
hardware budgets too, with dual 24" or larger screens.) No real
consensus, however.
Some who had dual monitors would take two smaller over one
larger, some thought a large wide screen would be a good alternative.
Many pointed out that Win7 has some nice new window management
functions that would make a larger wide screen act like duals.
A couple pointed out that two dissimilar monitors might have
different colors which could be distracting, get two of the same model
if possible.
No budget for two new monitors that are appropriate. The 19" screens he
suggested were a lower resolution that what I have now (1280 x 1024 vs.
1600 x 1200), so they weren't a good choice.
Looks like I'm going to get a single 26" NEC [1], which has good reviews
on Google products [2]. Also, he has plans for my old 20" to replace
one of the remaining CRTs in the office, but he has a couple of spare
high res. 19" screens that I can try as a second if I'd like. We'll see
what the color differences look like.
Thanks everyone,
