I am trying to debate on which secondary monitor to keep. I currently have a 24" cinema display as my main monitor to my Mac pro. Now for a secondary display I also have a 20" aluminum cinema display and a newer asus 22" LED IPS display and can't decide on which one to go with. The asus is brighter and more vivid,but the IPS coating makes the text looking jagged and blurry. The asus just has a cheaper plastic build to it, where the 20" apple is very high quality.
Apple 20" cinema display
Cons:
LCD panel takes longer to warm up
Only 1680x1050
No HDMI
Slightly more power consumption than LED
Older display so no more warranty
Pros:
Better quality build and nice looking
Text looks sharper
Matches all other apple stuff
20" size actually fits on my small desk better, especially next to the 24" display
Asus 22" LED IPS
Cons:
Blurry jagged text
Short monitor makes it look much smaller then 22"
Poor build quality and cheap looking
Pros:
HDMI input nice to have in case ever need it for something
Bright and vivid colors awesome picture
Matte IPS panel
Full hd 1920x1080
3 year warranty
Still within 30 day return period in case I decide to return it
I like Both displays but can't decide one way or the other. What would you guys choose?
