I currently have a 27" iMac and couldn't be happier with the screen real estate, but I find myself constantly needing to read some or refer to something while doing my coding and having to shuffle windows around to make space for things.
I'm thinking a second monitor connected to my iMac will suit this purpose well and would like some recommendations..
I, however, do have some criteria that I would like to meet with the monitor
Last, of course, is the budget and my research so far seems to indicate that I can get essentially what I want for around $250..so I'll keep the max as $300 for monitor and any necessary cables (mini-displayport to displayport)
To start off the discussion, I was really looking at the Dell UltraSharp U2212HM, but some of the reviews indicated that this screen had some heavy duty anti-glare coating that affected the image quality and my iMac being so nice and vivid might make this contrast appear worse..
So give me all of your opinions..

- An IPS panel
- MUST be able to adjust height AND pivot
- Ideally 21.5" screen size
- At least 1920x1080 resolution
- Displayport connection would be awesome
