Advice for Monitor

For the rest of the parameters; I do not recommend selection based on numbers in specs. like pixel resolution, contrast, maximum brightness etc., best you can do is take a look at the monitor, and display on it

some sharp image using the interface you want to use. Pick the sharpest one.

I respectfully disagree with you on the one point I made earlier.  DPI - or at least resolution to screen size - is important.  You won't like a 30" monitor with a resolution of 1680 x 1050.

But perhaps we both generalized a bit too much.  It's not an aboslutely critical categry as I made it seem, yet it isn't ignorable as you made it seem...

2 Dell U2412M's are the way to go (24" 1920x1200) for the money.  Block diagram on one screen and the Front pannel or reference documentation on the other.

No harm, todays monitors have all so high resolution and DPI...

The market obsession with numbers e.g. Megapixels, resolutions, kilowatts, lumens, DPI etc. basically takes care of the common parameters.

Everywhere you look, numbers. Todays customers are prone to this as they shop in the "the more the better" system.

Just to be sure, I tried to find what is the lowest resolution for 27"s in some common electronics store and those were all => 1920 * 1080

When you buy a monitor, you should look at the image it provides.

I agree with everything you just said.  🙂
