Ask HN: What external displays do you guys use?
Hey guys - I'm looking at buying a monitor, primarily for coding purposes. I am looking for a monitor around 27" with a relatively high resolution, and good picture quality. I was primarily considering the Apple Cinema Display and the Dell UltraSharp U2711.
What do you guys use as external monitors? I'm trying to see if I've missed some good options.
- bobfirestone 13y agoAt work my second display is a 27" iMac. It is connected to my other 27" iMac via thunderbolt.

- zachlatta 13y agoHave you used one personally? Any idea if it's significantly worse than the Dell UltraSharp? I've been eyeing 27" monitors recently.
- kogir 13y agoThere's always the Asus PQ321Q (3840x2160 32"). Make sure your graphics card supports DisplayPort 1.2 MST though.

- balac 13y agoI have one of the Korean 27" IPS monitors. It works well and the money saved was well worth the slight imperfections it came with.
- diorray 13y agoI own a DELL U2312HM 23" IPS monitor. But i didn't recommend that if you don't like bright display, even on low settings, screen was too bright
- TobbenTM 13y agoPersonally I like more smaller screens. On my workstation I am currently running 6 24" FullHD monitors. (Mostly because I can, but also _very_ handy for programming)
