I use 2 screens, have since Windows NT days. Since about 2005, I've been using Dell 2405FPW. Still work great, love the matte screen. I've always had them turned down in brightness. Friends have tried other brands, but end up having problems. I personally think Dell monitors have had a price / performance edge, and although I haven't used the latest batch of wider color gamut monitors, the new Dell high end monitors sound tempting. Not till these 2405's give up the ghost I guess... cost about $1250 each to get them delivered. In 2005 money, that was a lot of cash.

I am the proud owner of a Benq XL2420, special gaming monitor. The refresh rate is 120 hz. Great for playing FPS. Very fast TN panel.

I am a proud owner of the BenQ XL2420TE, it is an awesome monitor up to 144 hz . Loving this thing. And I agree with what you've said. Very satisfied with BenQ.

While I use 4 monitors the stand out is my Crossover 27" 2560x1440. I'm sure we've all heard of the cheap Korean IPS panels, and I took the plunge after much research on the OC boards. Have to say for the price I couldn't be happier. Reports of dead pixels, inconsistent brightness may be true in some situations but my screen is flawless. Highly recommend checking them out, at least to decide you want to spend more on the big name guys :)

I have a QNIX panel which is really the same as the Crossover one mentioned above. Green-sum on ebay is the seller to get it from. The shipping time is amazing considering it's coming from Korea, and they test each monitor to be sure they meet a minimum quality standard. One of the other cool things is that you can overclock the refresh rate... so if your graphics card(s) can keep up, you should be able to get 90 to 120Hz depending on your luck. Not bod at all for a $300 27" WQHD panel.

I'm returning my Dell S2440L for an Asus VS248H-P. I've only had the Asus for less than a day, but it looks to be the better option overall. I will miss the aesthetics of the Dell though... It's a nicely designed device.

Can't believe there is just a single person using a CRT display of those who replied. I've seen a lot of LCD's, but I still don't want to replace my Phillips Brilliance 201B CRT. In fact, I'd even buy another one, if they weren't so rare.

Running an LG IPS224 here. A decent budget IPS monitor. Beats TN panels hands down though. Hopefully in the future I can add another IPS screen to the mix and stop using my laptop as a second monitor :)

I've had my 27" ViewSonic VX2753mh-LED for about 2 years now. It's 1080p with 1ms response and has a matte finish. You can remove part the stand and have the screen sitting directly one your desk which is cool. It's an excellent monitor but I'm starting to think about getting one with a higher resolution.

I'm also torn about whether I want matte or glare screen. I haven't had a reflective screen since I had mt last CRT monitor.

I've heard people comment that shiny screen have a more vibrant viewing experience.

What are people's thoughts on shiny vs matte?

i use three 24" Dell IPS panels (1920x1200), i've been using them for a few years now, and i must say, minus the thick bezels in between the displays, it is hard for me to even consider getting rid of them for a new 4K monitor. i have grown too attached to the way i can easily separate tasks between the three screens. though you are able to do this on a 4K display, it is not the same, there's a sense of physical separation between the tasks.
