[QUOTE="d-shade, post: 1559064, member: 317850"] I don't have much experience with 27" displays but I will make a comment about the mono price display. If you want to be able to use that display at 2560x1440 you will need to get a display port to dual link dvi adapter which has mixed reviews. I have also heard that there is a lot of back light bleeding with that monitor as well. I was considering one of those because of the price and that it can do 2560x1440. But if you would still like to get the mono price monitor I would avoid getting the one you listed and get the one linked below as it has a display port input so you would just need a mini display port to display port cable.

The only 27" i have used is the Dell U2713H, Apple Cinema Displays and iMacs. [/QUOTE]
