[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1511586, member: 110816"] 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 [LIST] [*]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 [/LIST] 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 [URL="http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&sku=320-2736"]Dell UltraSharp U2212HM[/URL], 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..:) [/QUOTE]
