If money is not an issue, I think two 30 inch lcd monitors is the way to go
;-)
I only got one at home to look at my photos. It is amazing. I used a spyder
to adjusted the color. I am programming c at home using gcc which is great
to look at everything on that 30inch lcd monitor.
Have a nice day
Regards
Leigh

except you'd go blind if you had to do any real dev work on because of
the small screen. I now plug an external 24 inch screen into my laptop
for a similar reason (fewer headaches). The laptop does have a 17 inch
screen but at 1920x1200 things are a bit small. I remember when I was
first programming in Delphi on a 14 (maybe it was 15) inch monitor - my
how things have changed.
