All these resolutions numbers are greek to me, 1920x1080 1960x1200 2560x1080 2560x1440 2560x1600 .. etc etc etc.. What exactly will a 2560x1400 or 2560 x1600 do for me using Exocad ?
Will I be able to mark the margins better? see the convex areas on the proximal contact areas better when I smooth off. Put a smile on my face the rare times I use TruSmile ..LOL
I'm going to move up to a 27" monitor this week, so what is the difference in spending in the $350.00 range compared to spending in the $649.00 range for a high resolution monitor using a scanner with Exocad. I just sold my HP Performance ZR. 24, with 1920x1200. Not sure the difference in this HP compared to a cheaper 24" other than I spent almost twice the price to say I have higher resolution..

I did think about a 32/37 LED TV ... that's a possibility if the screen is far enough away.. I'm moving the scanner.
Is there any difference in a TV compared to a average $300-$400. 27" computer monitor ? and how do these options compare to a high resolution 2560x1600 monitor ? that's the real question

I have seen people run 32" tv's via and hdmi cable. Looked pretty nice, but you have to make sure your video card has an hdmi out if buy a Dvi to hdmi cable. I worked on 27" acer LCD screen with 1ms refresh rate. So nice.

We design on a 42" Samsung LCD tv connected via HDMI running 1920x1080 mounted on the wall behind the desk at about 4.5' viewing distance. Nice that it fills the field of view and you could really see things in detail, 3shape certainly looks good (cannot comment on Exo). Cannot see individual pixels at all, I would have to get to about 2' to start distinguishing them ( I got 20-20 vision BTW ;-) If your budget allows look at the new Samsung LED tv's, the picture is stunning.

I tried to find a Samsung 32" LED about 2 years ago to no luck. I think this was before smaller LED sets were released..
Thanks, I will checkout Best Buy over the weekend..

from lots of experience, DO NOT buy a tv to use as monitor!

the quality/shaprnes of the image on a dedicated monitor will beat any TV for computer use by a mile.

even with a tv that has a dedicated game mode thats "supposed" to turn off all the post processing the image will still not be as sharp and easy on the eye as a proper monitor, which is what you want when you are using for work day in/out for maybe long sessions.

unless money is no object id just go with a good quality 19xx IPS screen Charles.
