Correct, I switched from a dual 19" LCD setup to a single 27" LCD setup. I am currently using the 27" DELL U2711 IPS display, which is absolutely brilliant. I also bought the Sound Bar add-on, so I really have no clutter on my desk, and all the screen [desktop] space I need. As for brightness, I used to set it manually. During the day I have it at 50%, and at night I used to set it down to about 10%. Since then I discovered the utility app "redshift" [and f.lux], which is available for all platforms (Linux/FreeBSD, Windows and MacOSX). You set your Lon/Lat position, and it automatically adjusts your monitor at dusk or dawn. Redshift changes the color profile at night to give it a slight red/pink'ish tint, which might look odd for the first 20 seconds (if you did a instant switch, and not a gradual switch) - but your eyes will thank you a thousand times over! :) Redshift: http://jonls.dk/redshift/ f.lux: http://justgetflux.com/ Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
