Problem! buy iMac or new display??

[ipodrocker]

Currently I have a MacBook pro 15" and found myself working more from home doing projects and this 15" has it's limits.

My situation is should I upgrade to a new iMac and add a 2nd display?

J have the budget for it but the MacBook pro works perfect so I'm thinking more of getting a high quality display

I see the mac displays but I have older MacBook pro so they would not work so on looking at a dell monitors

What would people recommend? I'm thinking a 22" would suit to do Photoshop work and use it to watch movies

thanks in advance?

P.s what people think of the g drives ?

If the MBP is working fine, and you just need a bigger screen, then just buy a bigger screen. I wouldn't bother with anything less than a 1920x1080 resolution, regardless of size.

What's a popular make of display to get??

what's your budget?

My budget is widely open obvious not too extreme so around 500wuro maxi guess but flexible.

Dell U2410, refurb. ACD. Are you doing photo/video work and in need of extremely accurate color? If not, I like my ASUS VW246h.

I'm doing plenty photo and graphic work so high color is important

In that case...get the new NEC PA241W ($1070)...or the model it replaced, the NEC 2690 ($980) from B&H Video. I'm getting a PA241W...if I can find one in stock!

Too much money? Then a Dell U2410, with hardware calibration(!!!!) would be the next best.

How about a refurb dell or refurb ACD?

I'd love a refrub ACD but hard to find in Ireland
