Hi !!
I am planning to replace my bulky two CRTs for an elegant 23" / 24" widescreen TFT.
Its use : fine art printing, photo editing, design.
3 candidates :
- Apple Cinema 23" : I am absolute in love with its puristic design - its like having the image at work just floating in the air and nohing else. My heart whispers : "take this one"
~ 1080.- €
- Dell 2407WFP 24 : Even bigger - and cheaper. Also like its minimalistic shape. My mind says : "what a bargain - get it"
~ 780.- € (special offer)
- Eizo S2410W 24 : Eizo is the winner in almost any review. My conscience talks : "After all what counts is the quality you get out of this tool : Buy this here"
~ 1200.-
So what would you recommend to a design freak obsessed in getting out the max of his artwork ?
Thank you a lot and regards [TOM]

. . . of course, if someone thinks there is an interesting alternative to the candidates
posted before - I would not mind to hear from them [TOM]

You may want to consider 2 x LCDs, say 20" each. The LCD that holds your palettes doesn't have to be as good, or even the same size/aspect ratio/temperature. I find a single display (even 23"/24") drives me nuts as I'm always moving stuff out of the way. A dedicated screen for the image helps you concentrate on just that. Given that you currently have a dual monitor setup you probably already know this.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Very important comment as I considered a single widescreen better to work with than two separate ones. The best would be to test
working on a single widescreen for a while to see if it is worth to step down to a
single monitor. I have read comments from people who preferred the single one
after working on a dual system and the opposite . . .
Anyone here who had changed from working with 2 monitors to a single widescreen ??

with two wide screens 24 inch, it is getting almost too big, but I think widescreen is the way to go + a seperate screen for your tools

I switched from 2 monitors to one a long time ago and never looked back. I now use a widescreen monitor and I'm satisfied but I know people who would choose a two-monitor setup anytime. I would not refuse a 2 or 3 30" Cinema Display setup if I could!
