Who the hell needs 3 monitors ??? I've seen some 3-monitors setups in heavy graphic industry places like Gnomon or Pixar, but i really doubt you work there.

@karry299 You're right. I don't "need" three monitors. I do, however, spend a lot of time in front of my computer editing photos / video, developing websites, programming of various sorts, and doing lots of research (for my homework). Having multiple monitors just makes my life easier, and more productive.

Planning to get 3 monitors like you but keep holding back cause i cant seem to decide between the U2211H and U2311H. Heard that the U2211H is suppose to be sharper than the U2311H but then again the brightness for the U2211H is 250 cd/m2 only compared to U2311H which is 300 cd/m2. Any advice would be appreciated

I went with the U2211H models because at the time they were significantly cheaper, and because I prefer a higher pixel density over a larger screen.

I suppose it comes down to your preferences on three aspects: Pixel density vs. screen size, Price (if it's an issue) and Dimmer vs. brighter screens.

I've found these monitors to not be exceptionally bright, but I also work in a darkish area and they're just fine for me (keep in mind that I have not touched any of the display settings).

just wondering how you fund your... expendatures ;) hehe

@adamraco Thanks!! I'm in high school, so in my spare time I do free-lance web design, tech support, and various other jobs.

why not buy a dell u2711 for the same price?

@karry299 I am not a graphics designer, but have 6 at work, yeah 6 EIZO's, and 4 at home. First, you can buy as many as you can as long you have the money. Not your business.
