24" vs 27" monitor

[ian]

Anybody with a 27" monitor? I am interested in what you think of it.
I have always steered away from big monitors. Don't want something huge and bright so close in front of my face. Held on to a 22" monitor for a long time, and when I got a 23" it was like wow, what an amazing difference an extra inch makes in monitor size. So going to a 24" monitor should be no problem.
Just wondering, should I skip the 24" and go to a 27" monitor?
Apple only make a 27" led cinema display, they discontinued the 24" model. Of course I would never buy one, as I hate the glossy screen and I don't want a webcam in the monitor.

I have a 28" LCD and love it.

Im running dual 24" samsung syncmasters. I think they are plenty big. They take up a lot of real estate too. I was thinking about mounting on the wall though to get it further away.

Depends on the width of your PC table I have used a samsung 26' monitor with a 2 feet width and it seemed pretty huge to me.I would stick with the 22-24 range.The Samsung 26 was an LCD TV which I used as a monitor.

Depends how far you will be from your screen. I have played games on my 32" TV when my Monitor went off, but I was sitting pretty far from the screen. So basically I see you will be near the Monitor so get the 24" one.
