I'd like something in the 27-32" range that will look really good when using my MacBook in clamshell mode.  I have read some info about resolutions supported by this model of MacBook but am kind of confused as to what exactly I should look for, in order to get the best picture quality.  3840x2160 would be pretty much un-usable I'd imagine, but I believe this laptop will do that via mini display port (or maybe HDMI?).So what external monitors are people using, and how do they look?  Thank you.</blockquote>
