I upgraded to a 30" IPS(from a 24" IPS) and it's well worth it. It does take a little getting used to having that much screen that close but the adjustment period is on the order of a day or two.
- jrockway 14y agoI have a 30" at work. I don't really need the space. It isn't enough space to have four 100 column files open, and 24" is enough for three.
- codinghorror 14y agoMultiple panels may be better for the way you work than one large panel. In general I don't think any programmer should have less than two monitors, ever. Ideally three (for the "center"), and if you're crazy, four.
- greyboy 14y agoI can work fine with a single 20" 1600x1200. It's not my dream setup but it's also not hindering me for my work (backend systems).
- jrockway 14y agoI've been thinking of going the 19/30/19 route, but I've had a hard time finding an affordable mount that converts that scheme into something I can mount on a single monitor arm. I'm signed up for a metalworking class in the near future, so maybe I can solve that problem myself :)
- obtu 14y agoI'm used to multiple desktops (gnome 3, gnome before that), and multiple panels turn out to be useless to me. I just can't spread my attention across two monitors, whereas I switch desktops without thinking about it.

- Locke1689 14y agoWhat font face and size do you use? I found that Consolas at 12 requires 2560 to get three 100 columns side-by-side.
- jrockway 14y agoI use DejaVu Sans Mono-10 on the 30" and -9 on the 24".
