Re: monitors?

Not weird at all.

Btw Kris, my 30 doesn't take up two DVI ports. Dual-Link DVI is different even though it sounds as if it uses both. It's a slightly different port. I agree that two 24's might be better than one 30 but IMO it depends on what you work with. I work with HD video a lot, so 1920x1080 barely fits onto a 24" but with a 30 I can look at my content at 100% and still have full on tool pallets around the whole screen. That to me was worth the extra cash. Maybe not for everyone though.

Does working with a wide aspect ratio monitor cause any issues with the gui's of any apps you use......or does it just seem odd to work with say XSI stretched wide like that?

I personally love the Dell 24 inch.  I was going to purchase one 30 inch but for the same price, you get two 24s.  The 30 inch has a higher resolution but will consume both your DVI outs (if you even have that) and I don't think the extra resolution is necessary.  The 24s at 1920 x 1200 seem to be a great balance of screen size and resolution and you can't beat it for the price.  Picture quality is fantastic and monitor is well built and sturdy.

Hey guys, my little 17" macbook pro display is becoming a little too restrictive, so im shopping around for an additional screen,

 

Anyone using Dell 24 / 30" screens? If so are they upto task? Specificly black levels / banding? (more so on the 30", as the laptop has dual link dvi on it…may as well use it)

 

Cheers
