Dual 2007FPs or 2407WFP...

[ubooze]

Hello folks!

I hope you all can help me out. Time has come for me to finally build a new PC to put this 6 year old AMD to rest.

I've been jonesing for Battlefield for too long. A few other games have also caught my interest.

But the thing is, I also surf a LOT, do some stuff in Adobe CS ( going to be a lot more photography stuff), work in Solidworks, and overall feel the need for expanded real-estate. I currently have a Viewsonic PF790. It is GIGANTIC in terms of space it occupies and it is pretty heavy.

Can anyone argue more for one or the other? Are there some facts or details that I am overlooking? They would both come out to almost the same price ( I don't really want to spend more) and seem to have several satisfied users. The one thing I don't like about the dual wield LCDs is the fact that I would have the bezel divide the view during movies and what-not.

Is there some sort of alternative that I am missing? I was thinking about Samsungs but was told Dell was the better deal.

Any help would be much appreciated. This is the first build from scratch that I will be doing, so please bear with me. I've been trying to figure out how much I am going to spend on this build over the last few days so I can get on it ASAP. Want to get this thing done over Spring Break or pretty damn close.

get the 2407. You can always get a second one later.

I can't really give you any valid arguments but my personal preference would be a single widescreen 24' over dual 4:3 20" panels.

That was my other area of concern. If I do get another 2407WFP, and I know that I really would like to, it would be in a year. I ham worried that they may no longer be sold or that they may not "match". That is, the old display would show use or degrade by that time and thus make for some disappointment on my part.
