I'm still wondering if I should wait for a 27" LCD to appear on the market. For awhile, there was a bit of talk about it, but all news seems to have died.

Dell was supposed to come out with a 27" LCD that had the same resolution as the 2407fpw.

I'm just wondering if I should bite the bullet on 24" LCD or wait some more. I'd rather have something with a larger dot pitch because I like to sit 2 feet or more away from the monitor as opposed to 1.5 feet.
 
I've been waiting for the 27" for a while too. The monitor I *really* want is the Westinghouse 37" but I currently live in Germany and no online retailers ship it here. I could do with a 27"-32" just fine if the resolution is high enough.
 
I dont think anyone will be making a 27 inch panel anytime soon. Maybe in a TV but not in a monitor.

The next size in that range will be the 26 inchers. NEC has one due out in November
 
Only Samsung makes a 27" panel currently (Samsung LTM270M1) but you sure don't want it as it's dot pitch is .302 27"@1920?~1200... Majorly grainy like a 19" LCD.. I'm not aware of any monitor makers using it yet.....

Edit corrected model #.
 
I just sit further back from the screen so I don't think the dot pitch is going to be that bad. :cool:
 
What the hell is the point of buying the larger screen just to sit further away from it?
 
Because that is how I normally sit due to desk constraints. Besides, what's the good of sitting so damn close to a monitor anyways? Sometimes I see people sit a foot away from the monitor. What a great source of eyestrain. Sitting further back is easier on the eyes. I'm surprised the recommendation to sit a little further away from the monitor isn't more stressed by eye doctors.

edit: Before anyone says I sit too far from a monitor, I sit about 30" to 32" away from the monitor. I'm using a 19" CRT at 1280x1024, and frankly I actually like the look of 1024x768 a little better. I wonder what dot pitch that translates to.
