24" Acer LCD?

L

listedguru

Just inquiring if anyone here uses a 24" acer lcd for trading? Office Depot has them on sale this week for under $300. I know it's a nasty TN panel (LOL) with bad viewing angles, etc. But I'm just wondering if this would work okay for trading?

I currently am running (3) 19" LCD's (all tn panels)...

Are you intending to use just one, or dual?

I just bought 2 Acer 19" wide screens for my back-up trading station. $128/per out the door. Staples had them on sale for $149.98 and I had two $30 coupons :D Any way, the viewing angle I think can be a concern if using duals, both horizontally and vertically. Its OK, but no comparison to my 19" Planar PX191s.
 
I've got a 22" Acer for trading and I like it just fine.
My 17" Samsung is my second screen, and it works great too.
I found it on the side of the road. Literally!
 
I got one of these this week, but I'm taking it back tomorrow. It has 3 dead pixels and the backlight brightness is not even across the monitor... the lower right hand corner is brighter than the rest of the monitor (no, it's not a viewing angle thing either).

I'm crossing my fingers and ordered one of the V7 24" monitors from Staples for $350. Hopefully it will be better than the Acer.
 
I've heard that the viewing angle is not that great and may be a problem. Also heard that the screen is overly bright? I would plan on using one of these along with probably (1) of my 19."

I guess maybe I'll have to buy one and see? I was also tossing around the idea of a 22" but you get quite a bit more real estate with the 24..

Decisions, decisions:)

I was able to sharpen the text on my Samsungs through the graphics card menu (ATI). Changed the refresh to 75hz, not sure if it made the difference
 
Best Buy has a 28" Hanns-G for $539. Bloody thing is huge, for less than half the price of a 30".

I know this is a little off topic, but if its real estate you want...

I'm not sure about this, but if the resolution is the same as a 24" (which it is), do you actually get more stuff on it, or is the stuff just larger? 30 inch screens have much higher res which is why I think they are so expensive.
