News Samsung to help make Dell 27" screen

Agree completely, wheres the bloody high res screens, I like my 24" but with 1920x1200 it could do with a smaller pixel pitch, Ideally under 0.22mm, don't understand all these companies releasing bigger screens with crappy resolutions, probably just because its actually cheap to make that then a decent panel.

I'd like 2560x1600 in a 24-26" that would be superb.

 

i like the fact that samsung is the supplier, they make really nice monitors and tvs

 

I've had my 20" for a month or so now and I'm pleased with this. I had a 19" CRT before (1600x1200) which weighted like hell, was big, but also had a decent quality.. When I was picking a TFT I was worried about the resolution and a 1920x1200 would definitely have been nice but the cost.

So back to the topic. I think that as far as the DPI stays nice, there is no such thing "too big". Yeah maybe a 50" would be a slightest overkill, but a 30" would be just cool. Two of these WS-thingies side by side would IMO be too wide to use comfortably so one bigger could be the best option.

 

Yeh that is tooo much. I am thinking I will go for a 24" instead of the 30". I dont think i could cope with that field of vision.

Although I could be tempted by the 27" as I do like my 19" over the 17" i use at work. I'll have to see how much is costs though.

 

I'd be tempted if it didn't have the same resolution as the 24"

 

Nope. More likely that many people (specially older people) find uncofortable pixel pitchs so small. A 1920x1200 27' panel can be placed further from you, while still being just as legible it will be better for your eyes.

And most people with the need for a 27' or the disposable income to get one on impulse are likely to be over 30 anyway (ie, not as sharp sight). Many gamers too, would rather get a bigger screen with a lower native resolution...at 1920x1200 you are already stretching most graphic cards beyond their practical limit and at 2560, anything less than a 8800GTX is simply not powerful enough.

 

I would love to have a 27" with the same res as the 24". Occasionally I find text too small on the screen with the 24" ... This should be sorted with the 27" .... Unfortunately I am unlikely to be able to afford it and might be better off going with a 2nd 24" instead.

 

Man... am I the only sorry soul on this forum that still uses a single 15inch LCD screen *sob*

 

Nope, I use one, aswell as a 17" TFT

 

It has a worse DPI than a 19" TFT, which I personally find unusable. Even my 24" with its 1920x1200 resolution I find way too high, I'm more comfortable with laptop screens especially 15" 1920x1200 To my mind the ideal resolution is 3840x2400 on a 30" screen.

Vista by the way is scalable so everyone would be happy with a very high definition screen!

 

Personally for me bigger is better. If I had a screen that went from end to end on my desk that would be perfect. The way you interact with the data would be a lot different then using a 15in screen. I make programs for work and when I open Visual Studio I would like to be able to see my code and the form at the same time. I also use Photoshop a lot and like to be able to work with those high res pictures effortlessly. I have a 21in and a 15in screen and I use every inch. I think my next purchase will be a 30in. I have a pretty disposable income since I am in the military ;-)

 

^^^^+++++

Yeah...it won't be a day too soon the one in which my company decides to throw the 15' panels away and gets something wide screen.

And there should be an easy way in Windows of having the windows share the screen. I'd love to be able to have Visual Studio, and say, SQL Plus, in a 20' or even 19' wide screen, sharing 50% each of the screen at the touch of a button.

 

27" or 30" would be great for me. Lots of Photoshop and illustrator work which both have lots of floating palettes. Would be able to view and zoom into the image and still have plenty of space left for the palettes. Although would settle for two 24" screens, but my budget won't cope at the moment for even one 24". Mind you that could be because of the fact, I'm aiming for the HP lc2475 or the NEC 24" tft because of the great colour gamuts.

It's so hard to get a decent 24" tft with a great panel. I wait for the day that TN panels die out.
