What's your current and future monitor?

[carvercasey]

Mine's a year-old Viewsonic 19" LCD, VG1930wm, 1440x990 resolution. It has built-in tinny speakers that I sometimes turn on to make my audio "2.2" (the display's speakers functioning as front-center audio). Prior to this, I used a refurb Sony Trinitron 17" CRT. Moving to LCD was my best hardware ugprade so far! Even the wife and kid were happy A year or two from now I want to move to FullHD 1920x1080 22" LCD. What's your current and planned upgrade monitor?

Currently using an Acer x243 24" FullHD monitor plus a Samsung Syncmaster 17" 4:3 format for secondary work, am looking to upgrade this year to a Samsung ToC 26" as my main, unless I find a better deal in the meantime.

Currently using 3 19" generic Acer monitors, non-wide. I plan to get 2 24" wide screens down the road, hopefully this year.

I'm currently using an Acer 22", but I'm hoping to find a 32" 720p plasma television for my next one.

Compaq P1100 on the right, NEC MultiSync P1150 on the left (secondary, model unrelated to the Compaq). Dual 21" CRTs. They use a fair bit of power and take up the whole desk, but they were inexpensive and have better image quality than most LCDs did up until a couple years ago. I'm keepin' 'em until they die.

My main monitor is a Asus 21.5" 1080p, and my secondary is a Westinghouse 19" 1440x900. I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon because I picked up both monitors within the last year. However I would like to get a Mimo 7" usb monitor to use as a secondary for my laptop.

I have an Acer 22" as well, want to purchase a 32" tv as well for movie viewing as thats pretty much all I do on my computer. the 22" will get relegated to FPS gaming and a secondary monitor.

Im running an Asus 19" 1608x1050 as primary, a 32" samsung 1080x1920 (my roommates TV) and a 19" Vizio 1080x1920 TV. I want to get a 32", either Vizio or Samsung with a DVI input. =)

HP W2007 which is a 20" 1680x1050 widescreen

[silverdemon]

Primary screen: 22" Silicon Graphics CRT @ 1600x1200
Secondary screen: 15" Iiyama lcd 1024x768 (for mail and instant messaging)

oops, forgot future screens:
Probably a 22" (or more) flat-screen thingy for primary. Don't have the money now though...

Gateway FHD2400 24" LCD Right now

In the future I'll either be getting a 42" Samsung LED TV or a 30" LCD Monitor

when i first started i was using a 15" CRT, then i found a 21.5" CRT and moved to that heavy beast.

moved to a 22" samsung LCD, then about 8-10 months ago i got a 32" 720p samsung LCD tv. i have the 22" mounted about the 32" so i can game/watch tv and use the computer :)


next would likely be a 37-42" lcd 1080p.

get 1080p if you can, sucks being stuck at 1360x768 when your 3 feet from the monitor.

Hanns-G 28" 1920x1200. This will be my one and only monitor for a long while I think.

I'll upgrade to 4K when those come out in the 24-30" range and are only .3" thick. Before that happens I don't see the point in upgrading.

I might also consider getting two more of these Hanns-G monitors and putting them side by side in portrait mode. That would be really nice.

DO IT. It's awesome, the screen area for forums, Ebay, news articles, spreadsheets, documents. However, it's totally arse for video, so you can't have vertical screens on their own..

I bought the first Samsung and the HP new, before deciding Ebay was the way to go, hence my none-quite-the-same collection:

Primary:
Samsung 2443BW 24"
Samsung 245B 24"

Secondary:
HP L2208w 22"
Viewsonic VA2216W 22"

One thing I would caution you on; check the vertical viewing range before you do this. I have one of my 22" panels in portrait mode (despite the stand's complaints), and I've found that it only works well viewed tilted to one side. So, if you have three, one portrait on each side, then you'll probably want to tilt them opposite directions (ie, one CW, the other CCW).

Also, here's my setup (left to right):
18.5" 1280x1024 Compaq TFT8030
23" 2048x1152 Samsung SyncMaster 2343
22" 1680x1050 Samsung SyncMaster 225BW (vertical)
22" 1680x1050 Samsung SyncMaster 225BW

Yep this certainly sounds familiar! Unfortunately endemic with TN panels...
