Put the monitor in portrait mode, awesome for code and browsing ... just about anything that isn't a movie.
That requires having a stand that can accommodate the monitor that orientation - something neither of my existing displays can do. And you've just moved the problem around since a wider display would still be preferable. I'd be really happy with three huge 4:3 displays but that will never happen.

Portrait mode will screw subpixel rendering of text.
Now if only some entrepreneurial soul manages to import similar in Europe at no more than 500USD.
I have that one, worth every penny.
I occasionally get "snow" coming back from sleep, but unplugging/replugging the DVI cable into the adapter fixes that, and it hasn't been enough of an annoyance to consider spending $100 on the Apple-brand adapter.
In all, I've been very, very happy with it - and will probably buy one of the Monoprice models when I upgrade another one of my systems.
I have a Crossover 27Q (similar to this, probably sourced from the same place as other brands on ebay: Catleap, Shimian, wherever Monoprice is getting them, etc). Gorgeous minimalist metallic shell. Swivel display. Adjustable height. $375 from Ebay. Pixel perfect. I can't exaggerate how amazing these displays are. They're the same LG panels used in Apple Cinema displays at nearly a third of the cost. It's wonderful t…
About the HDMI/DVI issues, heres an overview of my (possibly incorrect) understanding, for those wondering (Note the resolutions listed can be fudged a bit by messing with display rate, ie it may be possible to get a single link dvi to display 2440 1400 @ 33hz) DVI-A/I/D Single link supports up to around 1920x1200 * DVI-I/D Dual Link supports 2560x1600+ * HDMI * HDMI 1.3 supports up to 2560x1600 * HDMI 1.4 supports u…

I have both an HP LP2475w (24" 1920x1200, IPS) and a 27" 2560x1440 monitor--the same resolution as mentioned here. (I didn't want to deal with potential dead pixels and scaling issues, so I forked over the $700 for the Asus PB278Q instead of buying the off-brand.) Honestly, I hate using my HP now. It's a great monitor, but the 2560x1440 resolution on the Asus is amazing . Side by side, the Asus knocks the HP out of t…
It's a pain to cart around, but I love my 10-year-old 2048x1536 CRT, and am alternately amused and saddened that modern displays still have a smaller smallest dimension.
Now we're seeing this with OLED displays, too. Much better contrasts, and even having some special properties like being bendable, but cost more than regular LCD's or even IPS LCD's.
The $64k question... How can I get one at 20-22" ~ 200+dpi? Like the IBM T221 from ten years ago? Every geek site I go people are on their hands and knees begging to get their hands on one at any price. 27" is too big for my desk and would rather not have to move my head side to side to see everything.
These 27" 1440p displays are still only 110 PPI. Compared to tablet screens surpassing 300 PPI, reading on lcd monitors becomes so painful when you get spoiled on those tablet screens. I'll be interested in 1440p when the displays hit 22 - 24" inch range and the PPI approaches 150. I'd really like to wait for 4k resolution displays to take off, and get shrunk down to 27". That would be much more reasonable pixel dens…
You don't really need 4K at 27", even if your vision is very good you shouldn't sit that close to your monitor. 4K is awesome for large sizes, 32" and up, I would say.
Did anybody try playing with this kind of monitors? Is it any good in terms of ghosting and refreshing?
Apparently some models are good for gaming. Must be privileged a model with a single input to avoid input lag, and a model with a potential overclock: In that regard, the Yamakasi Q270 SE seems to be the one standing out.
