[bloodvayne]

looking for 2 new monitors, thinking about going with this one....

i like the idea of it being a 16:10 ratio rather than 16:9
havent actually used a monitor with that ratio but it sounds good in theory

also considering a dell ultrasharp 24 inch but it is smaller and more expensive...not sure if the better quality will be that noticeable?

any thoughts, or other recommendations?

What kind of work do you do? Unless you have special requirements, the ideal setup is 3 19" monitors. Get LEDs.

I have 3 of these [ame=http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VK246H-24-Inch-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B001LYSX12/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1294205789&sr=1-1]Amazon.com: ASUS VK246H 24-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black with Webcam: Electronics[/ame]

and I haven't had any issue with them so far..potential problem is that the stand only tilts..

3 22's was the best thing I ever did for my setup, and I highly recommend the HP 22's

You can get 23" Dell UltraSharp IPS LCDs for the same price, maybe cheaper if you can find a Dell coupon.

UltraSharp U2311H 23 inch Monitor Details

IPS Panels > TN Panels. That model is 16:9 though.

You could also get dual Asus 27's for not too much more money when NewEgg gets them back in stock. 16:9 again though.

Newegg.com - ASUS VE276Q Black 27" 1920X1080 2ms Full HD HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor w/Display Port & Speakers 300 cd/m2 100,000 :1 (ASCR)

They were recently on sale for $270 and sold out.

16:10 - I too enjoy watching things in CINEMASCOPE

really though it depends on the use for it. If you're not gaming or doing graphic/video design you don't need the super low like 1ms + whatever fancy stats.

Get a really good IPS one. You'll be starting at it all day so higher price is justified IMO.
