i Purchased 2x24inch HP IPS Panels which was running on my Vista Pc which is now sold waiting on my Mac Pro in Jan. im Currently using my Macbook On my 24inch. Ive Decided to get another Screen as i run out of space on my vista pc.

I Don't No if you to Purchase Another 24inch HP Dream or a 30"inch Dell/ACD in January.


What Would You do?

Here is the current Setup.

A Macbook can't drive a 30", so if that's important to you, you may need to stick with a 24". Macbooks don't have dual link DVI ports.
 
the 30" and 2x24inch Will be Powered by the Mac Pro Which im buying in January at the same time i will be purchasing a 30" or another 24"
 
Looks like a sweet set up man, i would say just get another 24" later on if you need it. It looks like a 30" wouldn't leave enough room for the other two monitors, whereas 'it looks like' another 24" would just fit.
 
hmm i dont no if 24inch would be give me enough space...
i guess i could use my 1080p tv as 4th? :)

Haha! Well yeah you could always use that as your fourth =P

Honestly though, if you can afford it, and have the/can make the space for a thirty incher i would say get it, the thirty inchers look so massive. I would get one but i think having two 24"s might be better for me, and value for money i can have two Dell 24's for a third of the price of one 23" ACD.
