Thinking about selling off my shitty TN-panel Samsung T240s and buying a trio of 2209WAs... but that would entail moving from 1920x1200 to 1680x1050.... thoughts?
 
Sounds good to me. 3 is better than one and in the end you'll have a heck of a lot more screen real estate to play with. Plus having 3 monitors makes you cooler than me. ;)
 
You won't regret buying three 2209WAs ... they are exceptional monitors.

Well I'm not running 1 right now... running 2. I have a third but I wasn't able to use it because of 2 monitors max on CrossFire. :( Used as a TV in the bedroom right now.
 
Sounds like a good plan if you can get the 2209WA for $200 flat, and doing that requires a bit of coupon manipulation and gift card purchasing.

Though, if you have a source you're willing to share where I can get a $200 2209WA, I won't complain either. :D

Dude on another forum I frequent who works for Dell and setup a DPA for anyone on that forum. I mean that might be my source. Or it might not. Just sayin'. >.> <.<
 
I left my job recently and had to downsize from a 30" 2560 monitor to a 24" 1920 screen....

Painful.

You mean you wouldn't downsize at all even if the resolution were the same, or you wouldn't have any qualms going to a lower resolution for a higher quality panel?

I wouldn't downsize if the resolution on both the larger and smaller monitorers was the same. I wouldn't downsize if the resolution were on the smaller panel was lower than the resolution displayed by the larger panel. I would however go for a smaller panel if the resolution were much better. I would only do that up to a point. I wouldn't likely drop to a smaller panel to get a resolution of 1920x1200 over 1920x1080 or something close like that. In my computer room I've got one computer hooked up to a Dell 3007WFP and another hooked up to a Samsung 37" LCD TV which is capable of running at 1920x1080. It's a 1080P model and I still prefer the Dell 3007WFP for gaming and general windows usage.

Blargh... just wish the U2410 wasn't so damned expensive compared to the 2209WA. :(

Of course, it's made worse because any price difference is exacerbated by the fact that I'll be buying 3 of them.
 
My Dell 3007 WFP-HC just went tits up (the screen started shimmering and flashing white randomly and got progressively worse). I was able to return it to CostCo and so I bought a Dell 24 inch monitor and am using the left over money to fund my new upgrade. My new S2409W has absolutely zero backlight bleed, which is a nice improvement over the 30 inch Dell. I miss the extra resolution, but honestly, I'm digging this 24 inch monitor.
 
I use a 30" 2560x1600 at home, but when I'm on-site for a job the LCDs are only 17" 1280x1024 or 20" 1600x1200. The horror, the horror...

Last week, I set up my parent's new PC. It has a 22" 1080p LCD. It seemed very small, too.

When I spend a lot of time on my laptop (15.4" MBP), going back to my 30" feels H-U-G-E... but I like it!
 
I kinda downsized.

I bought a 26" NEC 2690WUXi in 2007 to replace an aging 19" Planar PX191 from 2002/3; I eventually gave it to a friend of mine.

In December 2008 I bought a 23.6" Asus VK246H (1920 x 1080) for my HTPC basically for limited usage (0 - 5 hours per week). I figured I was gonna buy an HDTV anyway so might as well get something cheap with 1920 x 1080 resolution. I was using the Planar PX191 for my HTPC up to this point.

Back around June I "upsized" again when I decided to go dual screen. I paired up my NEC with a 26" Planar PX2611w.

I "downsized" again (in resolution) when I bought my 47" LG 47LH90 HDTV back in August to finally replace my SDTV which I bought back in 2001.
