Dual monitor
polycounter lvl 14
Hi This is tecnical forum so I think to post this in the right session if is not please move it to the appropiate one ...
In anycase I would lik eto ask , What are your sugestions on a Dual screen configuration , I have to sell my old monitor and I was thinking to a dual monitor solution ....
It woul dbe either like :
A) monitor 30" + monitor 24 " ( actual one )
or
monitor 27 " + monitor 27 "
For budget reasons the costs is almoust the same like buying a 30 " and keep the old or sell the old and get two 27 " , slightly more expensive 27 " but not that much ...
what are your sugestions or actual favored use if you have a 27 or a 30 and you know the difference can you tell me?

Kidding aside, i prefer working with 2 identical sizes,but thats only my opinion.
Working with with 2 different sizes feels unnatural to me
Edit:
And you don´t have to mess around with color settings and stuff if you buy 2 identical ones.

Now more important than the size is that you actually get a good panel. I would always buy a smaller screen with a better panel at the same price. So make sure you're not looking at a "too good to be true" TN panel with terrible color shifting and poor viewing angles.
Also you may want to look at this, it says that u 2711 is about mid-range when it comes to input lag. I actually have one of the "worst" on that list, the 2408WFP, but have never noticed any lag when playing games.

As far as 27 vrs 30, if it was your only monitor, you might notice the difference between the two, however you're going to get TWO 27" MONITORS!!! That is an insane amount of screenspace.
But EarthQuake is right, getting one with a good panel(most TN panels are really shitty) should be your highest priority.
so my Idea was either flank to my 24 a 30 " or get two 27" always dell , considering the new tech Dell uses tough the results might be differing on the two monitors...
I highly doubt there is "no problem", more that you just dont mind. Your TN panel is undoubtedly worse than a quality *VA, IPS, E-IPS etc panel. All TNs have color shifting and poor view angles, some worse than others of course.
Even if the colors shift if i look from far above or the side they just get a little bit darker. Most TN Panels tend to invert the colors.
The bad thing about most TN panels is that they just have a 18 Bit Color Range and try to interpolate 24Bit with dithering which is very noticable.
I agree that TN panels are mostly poor regarding visual quality but as you said some are worse than others.
Personally I like them matched, easier on the eyes and of course no need to tinker with them to get them to match in color and display.
I got lucky and pick the monitors at $189 each (reg price is $329)!
