Less eye strain. You can have the editor font larger (I used to have it at 8 but on this monitor I have it at 10). Can have more items visible on the desktop which means less switching and mouse clicking. I don't run Large Fonts though. Just normal fonts.
I actually have it plugged into my laptop so I have 1920x1200 (times 2) but I am finding that I hardly use the second monitor efficiently. So perhaps no need for a second monitor. Things are just clearer. You can sit back further and I feel a lot more comfortable. It took a bit getting used to it and I had to put it near the back of my desk. The first couple of days I had a sore neck because I was moving my head when using it, it is pretty impressive to look at. That was when I moved it back further. While I run dual monitors (as mentioned) I would much rather run 1 large monitor than 2 smaller monitors. Then your head does have to move around. Dell also recently released a 30inch LCD in Australia (not sure about in NZ). It is over double the price (for what I paid - was in a bulk buy deal) but has 50% more screen space. However it needs dual dvi to work. cheers, Jeremy On 1/17/06, Leigh Wanstead <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jeremy, > > Can you share some advantage regarding to 24inch LCD compare to 17inch LCD? > I understand that screen is bigger and more pixels and can get more space. > What is the real advantage for programming? > > Regards > Leigh > http://www.salenz.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeremy North > Sent: Tuesday, 17 January 2006 10:55 a.m. > To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List > Subject: Re: [DUG-Offtopic] LCD monitors > > > I have a Dell 24inch LCD.
