. Primary use will be going paperless. I have been using a TV at home, but too much competition.| I've been using a Samsung 226BW for the last 4-5 years and have had no issues. I'm not sure what the current iteration is, but I know Samsung had some issues with capacitors on the power supply board on the original 226 (no issues with the one I have though). Whichever monitor you decide on be sure and read all the reviews and reports you can find on it before you purchase. |
| Been using a BenQ GW2255 for the last several weeks, and like it - Excellent performer for 110 bucks, IMO. |
| I'm using this one on a 2006 Mac Pro. I'm happy with it overall, but would prefer a matte screen. |

Some of the Dell monitors and Macbooks don't play well together. My Dell monitor just keeps power cycling when my mac tries to put it to sleep.
But macs just work, amirite? Mine is the Dell P2312H http://www.dell.com/ed/business/p/dell-p2312h/pd |

An guy at the church I do IT contract work at got this spiffy LG 34" monitor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005634 He's using it with a Mac Mini, and it looks freaking awesome. Expensive? Not to me. I spent more than that on a 21" monitor back in 2004, so this thing is CHEAP. |

Slickdeals Any of the Samsung 1080p LED monitors that pop up. Yeah keep an eye on Slickdeals. I have an Asus I like but never really looked into what brands are good. ETA: Here's some feedback on brands Most of them are pretty good so I would just decide what size you want and read individual reviews at Newegg or Amazon. ETA2: Personally I would look for an IPS panel not TN. |

I have a 30" and 24" but this one looks nice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4SM1RE1945&cm_re=dell_ultrasharp-_-12K-00EH-00076-_-Product |

bump for more input - damn apple monitors are expensive. 1k for their 27". Of course it must look BEAUTIFUL  .
I use one at work and yes, it is beautiful. The Monoprice 27" IPS monitor is pretty comparable as far as the visible pixels, but it's clunkier and doesn't look as nice as the Apple Thunderbolt display. You can find them for as low as $360 or so sometimes. Just depends on what your needs are. |
That LG is very tempting. I have dual 24 16:10. After looking at the specs, that is about 1/3 less monitor than I am typing in front of... I have to wonder if 2560xx1080 is worth the step up from 1920x1080 (my 1080p). I currently have 2 1920x1200's in in front of me - so am a bit spoiled. |

Not a huge fan of 16:10 since I almost never need more width, but height is always at a premium. I don't have the desk real estate for two monitors like that, so it's the most I can get out of one. I use it with a laptop, so technically, I have that screen as well, but it's radically smaller. |

We went had a 21" and then a 24" 16:9 at the office, and I felt the height sucked. Perhaps with a 27" it would have been ok. The 24" 16:10 gave me the same depth as my old 19" 4:3's. 4:3 was a good office ratio. FWIW - In theory a 2560x1440 is a wider aspect ration than a 1920x1200. But the extra pixels allow for a larger screen so it is pretty mute. My issue is a 24" 16:9 has about 1" less height than a 24" 16:10 (and you have a 1920x1080 rather than a 1920x1200. |
