Hi all,
I am planning to buy a new monitor and I am mainly deciding between these two:
Dell Ultrasharp 2412M: IPS + Antiglare coating
Dell ST2220T: Glossy IPS
What I am looking for is a monitor with the best text rendering (clear and good contrast) as I study a lot of papers/ write a lot of code on and also I don't have the best eyes . I don't use my desktop much for multimedia or gaming. I think the Ultrasharp line is great but I read somewhere that glossy screens, while reflective, can give the best contrast. However today I worked a bit with an iMac (which has a glossy IPS screen as the Dell 2220T, a bit brighter though) and honestly I wasn't that impressed with it. Maybe I am expecting too much!
Which one do you recommend? I am more leaning towards Ultrasharp + Cleartype font (subpixel hinting in Linux).
