24" 16:10, wanna change with 27" 16:9

[greyx]

Hello guys.
You think is worth to change my Samsung 2443BW
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001294
with another one 27" 16:9 aspect ratio ?
Because of the aspect ratio 16:10 vs 16:9 , there is not to much difference on the display surface.
What do you think ? Is worth ?
Thanks in advance.

There still will be a difference in screen real estate since you would be moving up to a 27" viewable. It would be a different situation if it were a 26" 16:10 to a 27" 16:9. Which monitor are you thinking of? The first one that popped into my head was the Viewsonic VX2739wm.

by switching the aspect ratio, you end up with something more akin to a 25" - the difference isn't worth it.

For example, I have that exact same samsung monitor, and I bought a hannspree 25.5 in 16:9, and it's the loss in screen real-estate compared to my samsung was dramatic. I personally wouldn't touch anything >24" in 16:9.

I would personally get something like this if you're looking to upgrade:

After going through various other samsung, lg, etc models, that's one of the ones I settled on for my setup. great colors (for a TN), 16:10, good value. Bezel's a bit thick, but that's my only real gripe about it. Your needs may be different though.

Thanks. But there is no DVI
I could use HDMI, that's the same ( except sound ... ) but i have no idea if this monitor is a good one.
Actually, i would keep the aspect ratio 16:10, instead 16:9

Now that monitor I approve of.

The built in speakers(2W) aren't that great that I would go out of my way to use them via HDMI. Just use an HDMI to DVI converter and use desktop speakers instead.

There actually is a model with DVI for $10 more. And the one with just the HDMI ports comes with a DVI -> HDMI cable so you can use it as you would a normal DVI connection.

Here's the model with the DVI connector: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254052

It really is a quality display; search some threads around here and you'll see the good feedback it gets.
