Ask Slashdot: What Is Your Favorite Monitor For Programming?

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 14, 2013 @11:03AM from the anything-that-keeps-the-lizard-happy dept.

First time accepted submitter BadassFractal writes "I'm in the market for a new large desktop monitor (or two) which I intend to use almost exclusively for programming and all sorts of software development-related work. I'm trying to keep the cost down reasonable, and I do enjoy as large of a resolution as possible. What do people 'in the know' out there use these days for that purpose? I'm thinking a 1920x1200 24" would be good, unless there's an affordable 2560xFoo option out there. I keep hearing about nameless Korean 27" screens, any thoughts on those?"

560Z if you want details. 800x600 pixels, 100x37 with 16x8 characters -- perfect ssh client. Main machine has a 19" for opening GUI stuff when really necessary.
OMG SO HARDCORE

It works in other things as well. I'd rather have two girls at 115 lb each than one at 230.
