Re: [FCP-L] Re: OT: Monitors

I have a 30" Dell - great monitor -- but often run it at 1920 x 1200, which does make the fonts bigger.

Recently I picked up (needed a cheap HDMI monitor) a 28" Hanns-G 1920 x 1200 for $300 from NewEgg, which is not bad at all for the price. Bright, obviously not a grading monitor but ok for a computer monitor. There is a version that is newer and $50 more with 3x HDMI inputs, this has but one. But it's a lot easier on my old eyes from 2+ feet away than my old 23" HP LCDs were.

As for the 2048 x 11xx Samsungs Steve Hullfish wrote about, I remember them being problematic with many video cards due to the non-standard res. 2048 is a good thing, of course -- but not a common preset.

Costco seems to be selling these for under $200 each.
