I'm looking to upgrade my monitors (Dual 1905FP's running at 1280X1024) and am trying to understand what will be a better monitor for my needs.
I currently work on my computer and do no gaming at all. I'm mostly in Outlook, Web browsers with web apps, and Office documents. I'm used to running 1280X1024 and my eyes have been bothering me so I don't want to make any drastic changes. So my question is, what would be a better monitor to replace my dual 1905FP's running 1280X1024?
I ordered the Dell U2415 (24" at 1900X1200), but will return it if there is a better configuration or monitor.
I've seen some 27" running 1920 x 1080, but seems like the best of them run 2560x1440 in this size. Would a 27" at 1920X1080 look all big and weird if I'm used to 1280X1024 on the 19"? I'm guessing the 27" at 2560X1440 would make all the fonts and text look tiny to what I'm used to.
In terms of viewing quality and the need to work and be comfortable at a monitor for many hours a day, would the Dell U2415 (24" at 1900X1200) be a good replacement for dual 1905FP's? Or is there another model. No real budget cap, but I don't want to go broke, but I would if it meant getting the best.
Is it better to go 24" 16:10, or 27" 16:9 for my needs and to stay close to the 1905FP I'm used to?
Recommendations and opinions appreciated
