First I was certain to buy a 30''; Samsung 305T+ looked most "best buy" for €1200. Now I'm not sure whether I should go for 275T+ for €920?
I already have Samsung 204B [1600 x 1200] which I intend(ed) to rotate [1200 x 1600] and place 305T+ [2560 x 1600] next to it. (BTW, 204B rotated gets hit by not-so-good 160° 'vertical angle'.)

Who of you bought a 30'' and wouldn't change it for, say, a 27''? Can you easily write and read on 2560x1600? Or is it easier on eyes with 27'' 275T with 1920x1200 when you're writing code?

------------------
Now, there is a large price premium for 30'' monitors, isn't it? But has this field moved much lately, I mean, how long are 305T, 3007W, ACD, XHD3000 on the market? Two years?

Why isn't LG W3000H more reviewed (here is google search). I could only find it on obscure Romanian site and looks reasonable (to me): it has IPS panel (305T+ "only" PVA) and I can get it for €1000)

1. I have a 30" 3007-HC 18" away from my face and have no problem with reading text.
2. For webpages and code, the 1600 vertical pixels kicks the crap out of 1200.
3. The 3007 has been out for 3.5 years, and I don't see prices dropping soon. Mine was worth every penny :)
