2x 23" ACD or 1x 30" ACD for new Mac Pro

I use two 23" displays, and often think that I would prefer a 30".

However, I use and love ergotron monitor arms, and these would be absolutely out of the question with a 30", as I have the strongest ones they make, and they barely hold the 23"s. The 2X23" setup has to be angled rather significantly to get a non-distorted view of each panel, and some people do not like that.

In the end, I think it is largely a personal preference. I often use more than one computer, so for me, the ability to have to system's displays is nice, but I always wonder what the 30" would be like for my daily work/play.

 

I would go with the 30". You save a lot of desk space and you still have a LOT of screen real estate.A 30" would be so sweet to have.

 

Depends on what you're doing and if that benefits from 'separation of workspace'. Even two 23"'s don't take up that much space.

I use a mix of two to four 23-24" monitors or two 30" on many of the desktops I use. Even when using a 30" monitor, for what I do I find the ability to separate my work into discrete 'real' windows is useful.

For general purpose use, I suppose a single 30" monitor is sufficient though.

 

30"

 

I had two 23s and then went to the 30. Get the 30.

 

I would take to 30"

 

The 30" is beautiful, no doubt. Although for a program like Aperture, I'd love to have 2 23s instead. Love to be able to have the particular photo selected in full screen with all the controls and such on the other monitor

 

Definately the 30'', I find myself being much more productive on a single large monitor not to mention it looks better and takes up less desk space.

 

well se about that
maybe in mackworld 15 januar ore maybe not..if you look at the buyers guide here at macrumor it's clearly about time for a upgrade..
