Monitors are cheap nowadays, why can't everyone just get the dual 24+, 27, or even 30 inch monitors? Why have to stay with the smaller screen where one can go big?
Just googled and found 27" for less than $400 on Amazon:

- zaphoyd 16y agoThere is a lot more to a monitor than it's physical dimensions. The 27 inch display that you linked has a similar or lower resolution than most 23/24 inch displays and is a tn panel with limited viewing angle, color reproduction, and overall clarity. There are many good options for quality 24 inch (1920x1200) panels at reasonable prices but 27/30 inch panels at resolutions that make those inches worth having (2560x1600) are still quite pricy.
- zokier 16y agoAnd here I am, looking for new monitor, and the best deal so far is 21.5" for 300 euro... But it's not TN and it's certainly not an Acer. edit: ... and it has the same resolution than the linked 27". What use is large screen if you can't show more stuff with it? Waste of desk space, if you ask me.
- xiongchiamiov 16y ago$400 is more than I've been paying for rent. I got my second monitor (a crappy 17in lcd) off craigslist for $20. I got my (rather comfy) chair from campus surplus for 5. tldr: When you're a student, $400 is a lot of money.
