Which 22" monitor is good for text/programming?

The bigger the resolution the screen can produce and better pixels then that screen will be better. But for this screen it has a very nice display for me. Do a lot of photoshop, premier and after effects.

I am not sure what kind of text. If you mean communication texting it is not the correct place to do that. The new LED backlight monitors make everything better including black blacks. If you mean writing programs and letters any monitor can do this.

I happen to use both every day - the apple 27 inch at work, and the viewsonic at home. I prefer the viewsonic for the non-glossy finish, adjustable stand, and aesthetic. I'd buy it again in either case. The image quality is great on both monitors, so that wasn't a difference to consider here.

what you need is this one:Asus VG248QE 24-inch Full HD Ergonomic Back-lit LED Gaming Monitor

1920 x 1080You can also refer to this website, http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LS23B550VSY/ZA-features. I had purchased a refurbished item. Yet, returned it due to some problems concerning power and speaker. Good Luck for your shopping!

I would definitely opt for the smaller 13" macbook. Its more than powerful enough even for my needs as a software developer. Its very portable and great for travel. However, at home when you want a bigger screen I just hook it up to a nice big 22" Dell external monitor with external keyboard, mouse. That way it acts like a nice big desktop machine but has the portability of small laptop. You get the best of both worlds. The price difference between the macbook and the mbp is $400-$700 and you could easily use that savings to get a nice external monitor, keyboard, mouse.

I bought 2 of the Dell 24" ST2421L monitor for $179/each with reasonable resolution, but the graphics card can handle higher resolution monitors. You can connect 1 monitor via the included VGA 15pin cable and VGA/DVI-D adapter. You will need a separate DVI-D M-M cable for the 2nd monitor. I went cheap and bought a 4' length for $10, but highly recommend 6' or longer especially if you route it to your HDTV big screen TV.

I can't speak directly about this monitor, but the 23" VP2365 I have and use for photo editing and printing is a real winner at less than $250..This looks like a larger version of the same, and a real steal at the current pricing on Amazon..i say "go for it!"

What I noticed most was the text quality. With the VGA connection, text on the 906BW had a smudged, almost shadowed look. On DVI the shadows were gone so the text looked clean and clear.

You may want to look at the review of this monitor over at tftcentral. They cover all the details.

I recently decided to buy a second monitor to go along with my HP w1707 and I was also trying to decide between the w2207h and the 2159m. I shopped around for a while at various local stores and this one was by far the best in its class for overall value and quality. Size wise they are basically the same but the picture quality of the 2159m which has a higher resolution of (1920 x 1080p) was much better than the w2207h. Even compared to other monitors with the same resolution the 2159m seemed to really stand out based on image quality, brightness, contrast, clarity, sharpness, and style. I've had the monitor for about a week and it looks great especially when using the HDMI input. I've got both the 2159m and a hp w1707 hooked up to my laptop and the 2159m worked right out of the box with very little image calibration required. A few weeks ago newegg had a special on the w2207h and after reading all the reviews I almost bought it, but it was defiantly worth waiting to see in person and I think a lot of people are going to have buyers remorse when they see the 2159m. Both are very good monitors but between the two the 2159m is hands down superior to the w2207h, especially considering that I was able to get it from Brandsmart for $210.00 ($40.00 less than the w2207h).

Are you sure that the 22-incher is "LED"? The only one that I see is "LCD". It's up to you to decide if the difference in size and type is worth the $20.

Dante,Thank you for the reply! Just FYI: I ended up with a Dell U3011 and a 5 year Dell warranty (direct from Dell). My Dell Workstation (Precision) has two monitors, so I might upgrade from the current 24" to the U2711, but not right away.

I use 2 inexpensive 21.5" monitors (emachine's I bought for $89.99 at Best Buy) but the stands says they support up to 24".

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

I chose the Philips monitor - can't now recall the exact reasons, but I believe that it was due to slightly higher ratings and a little less cost. I'm happy with it. But, for my other office, I spent more and got an HP Envy 32 - slightly wider and the height is great.
