Hey everyone,
This is my first post on these forums, so if this is in the wrong place or has been asked before (could not find such a post) then please don't rip in to me.
I am transferring to UC Davis next year as a CS major and need to get a monitor to use. I have a mid-2009 13-inch MacBook Pro.
What I would like from a monitor:
-largest screen size possible (27 inch if possible)
-high resolution (greater than 1080p)
-HDMI so I can plug in my xBox 360
-Pivot so I can have a vertically flipped screen
I have looked at the Dell U2711, Apple Cinema Display, and the Samsung S27A850D. The Dell has the desired HDMI but has that matte screen which is probably terrible for reading text (i.e. coding). The Cinema Display has the glossy screen so it is better for reading small text. And the Samsung flips vertical.
Obviously if anyone has any other suggestions I would love to hear them. These are just the best options I found in my research.
Let me know what you think is the best monitor and why. Thank you!
