Ok Guys I am playing around with the dell 30 inch LCD and wanted to know some opinions from you guys. Right now for the past few months I have been using the 37 inch Westinghouse. It's doing just fine for me, but I want to move it into my bedroom now and make it a TV. I currently use a Jerker desk, its great for what I need it for, but anything smaller then that Westinghouse looks weird on it. I am looking at getting a similar setup that I have at work with an L shaped Galant workstation and was wondering moving from my 30 inch to my 2x 17 inches I use at work better for my eyes then sticking with the Westinghouse?? I wanted something that is good for everyday use and gaming. Now is the 27 inch Dell or 24 inch Dell a better option for me. Right now I am using 2x 8800gtx's in SLI but I might ditch them soon and go back to an intel chipset. Then again a 3 monitor setup like I had a year ago with 2x17 inches and a 24 inch was fun as well. Anyhow everyone's feedback and advice would be great.

I'm running a 27" Samsung Sync Master 275t and a Benq T905 19" LCD on the right and I love it!

You get absolute imersion in the game because the 27" display fills your field of view. This display looks fantatsic, better than any other display I have ever used for gaming. Having the 19" on the side lete ms put things like my music player, vent, windows vista side bar with weather, clcok, cpu load and memory load, etc. I can also stick my temp monitoring software over there if i'm OC'ing and want to keep an eye on things.

The biggest advantage I see with 27" displays is that the fonts on the screen appear slightly larger as a result of it's dot pitch. Another huge thing in my opinion is that if you have a reasonable machine, you can run games at 1920x1200 without too much trouble, compared to running at native res on those 30" displays which can bring even the most high end machine to it's knees.

I can't imagine a more perfect display for gaming. 17" certainly isn't it in my opinion. It's one of the worst (and yet most popular) screen sizes around. Some buy it because of the fine dot pitch but unless you are one of those people with awesome vision who really want that because of your ability to see screen door effect it's junk in my opinion and display technology has moved past it.
