My primary work machine (a tablet) has a 12.1" display. The nice UPS man just delivered my NEW monitor: the godlyDell 2407WFP (24"). I've nearly 4x my available work space. [By the way, I spent a lot of time agonizing over whether I should just buy the Apple versions which are more expensive because I hate Dell that much, but there just wasn't another option for a monitor that was as good, as big that was cheap (mine was $680-ish). However, I will still never ever ever buy a laptop or desktop from Dell ever again. So I'm still OK.]

Here's a crappy comparison shot taken from my cellphone:

I can immediately put this to work by loading up 2x as many spam tags to delete at once!!! Woo hoo!!!!

I dunno about Dell but the tablet PC from Toshiba are the utter c*ap! It's been 1.5 month I bought one and still haven't been able to use it porperly. I'm fighting for a refund...

On another hand, I have the 24" Apple wide screen on my PC and it's a blast when you're doing a lot of design. :P I'm planning on getting a real Mac to go along with the screen someday. I'm fed up with PC and Window$...

Haha, I just hooked up the 24" to my PC and having that extra monitor is AWESOME for development, too! =)

My monitor is from Motion - I don't even use the tablet feature :( I think for design, Wacom tablets are much better.

Hmmm. I'm not a very big fan of Dell.

You need to learn how to start 12 tabling, since you can do it now without your tables overlapping :)
