List of recommended monitors
30"
NEC PA301w (overall best available monitor; not ideal for text work due to matte screen effect)
Dell U3011 (if 30" is necessary but no money for NEC PA301w; not perfect color rendering related to wide color gamut; not ideal for text work due to matte screen effect)
27"
Apple Cinema (limited connectivity, ergonomics, mechanics)
Samsung S27A850DW (not perfect color rendering related to sRGB color space mismatch)
24" (best models)
NEC P241w (not ideal for text work due to matte screen effect)
NEC PA241w (not ideal for text work due to matte screen effect)
24" (medium price)
