Hi, I use an HP 2510i 25'' 2.5ms at work and an HP 2710M at home, 27'' 2.5ms
I work mainly with graphic apps, requiring high res to capture details, and the ability to grasp the whole without the need to be constantly zooming in and out...
My main Commecial CAD apps are Catia V 15 which runs in my work Server Solaris 10 for Sparc, as well as Blender and BRLCAD for OSS packages... NURBS modelling features of Blender "Kick ass" even when comparing to Catia's... some shapes I have to model are less "mechanical" and more "organic" ( think of parametring the radius of fillets in wing fairings of airplanes and exporting the whole shape as a high reslution stl file... no way I can automate this in Catia, in Blender it is s simple Python script... )
At home I run my G@3Mz, my MuvZ, my MuZikZ and some work... the g@3Mz i run at home are highly graphical... AOE 3, Warcraft 3, Red Alert 3, FlightGear, X-Plane, will buy Civ 5, as well as Battlestations Pacific, my graphical work apps at home are ProEngineer, BRLCAD and Blender.
LED back-lit and True LED monitor are difference,
in the current market, mostly are LED-backlit,
true LED is very expensive.
In malaysia, a 23" LED-backlit monitor cost about 180 USD.
I hope to get one when have money.
