Hi all, This may be stating the obvious, but pixels matter. Most large displays still top out at HD resolution (1920 x 1080). That's what I have, and I'm always wishing I had more real estate.
Apple's 27" displays are expensive but they contain significantly more pixels (2560-by-1440). A few other manufacturers also make 2560-by-1440 pixel displays -- none of them are exactly cheap, but if you can afford it, might as well get the most pixels you can afford.
