The same monitor is available here in the Netherlands......... 249 Euro! which is about 275 US dollars!

So even when I would have had the 150 US dollars there was quite a bit more to wish!

But there is good news as well! For the same amount I can buy a LG 29"monitor! Now of I only had 249 Euros

Cheers,

Maybe a matter of taste, Ickie, but I think 27" needs a 2.5k resolution.

Mark,

You are still quite young, when your eyes are as old as ours you just need a large monitor and the resolutions isn't that important anymore, as we are already quite happy we can see our monitor

Cheers,

Huub, at 50 one isn't quite young anymore, at least physically :-) My eyes are so crooked that I have 5 different glasses for all kinds of applications. But I really agree on the size and this was one of the reasons I bought one myself. I have a 27" monitor that runs at 2.5k, and work with a second one right next to it that is a Samsung 22" model at 1080p. Even though it is significantly smaller, the difference in sharpness is like day and night. I consider that buying the big 27" was one of the best investments I made in recent years.

Anyhow, at the end of the day, it is still a matter of taste and of course the amount of money one is willing to spend on it.


Cheers,
Mark
