For my photo work I use two 1200x1920 monitors - one in portrait and one in landscape. This works great for editing in sizes likely to be printed. The aged Dell 2405 rotates so is kept in portrait position. But it has started getting dim fairly rapid lately, even using brightness at 100%. I doubt if any repair work today would be less than $200 no matter what and could go considerably higher if something major involved.
So I am just fishing for any comments on repair vs replace. If replace I still need 1200x1920 with vertical rotation. Could go larger size but feel 29" is a large as this resolution should be pushed for quality. If price is right, would consider getting two monitors to continue the match in a larger size. I have a 32" in 1080 and it is just not as sharp for photo work but okay for general work. Using an older flat screen CRT temporarily as substitute.
It will probably be three years before I build another computer and consider going to ultra wide monitors. I do not watch movies on my computers, nor play games, but I may get into video editing for travel journals. [ Apologize my signature is two builds behind current office equipment. ]
