I finally saved enough dimes and nickels to purchase a high resolution monitor. Actually the prices on them aren't all that crazy any more. My video card limited me to 2560x1440 so I got a Dell 27in. All I can say is, it's a whole new world
I new it would make a difference but wasn't prepared for just how dramatic a difference it would be. I haven't calibrated it yet. Can't stop staring at it long enough to do so...
