So... It's down to one of 3 setups.

A) Dual 21" 4:3 LCD's (MVA panels)
B) 24" 16:9 TN + 21" 4:3 MVA
C) Straight 26" TN

There's a sale on the 4:3 models, a crazy good sale, but I want HD pixel mapping too...

I'd save up money for something you want and would like to have. I wouldn't compromise to just a TN (or two) if you want high resolution with proper color reproduction. Check around for some used Dell monitors. I saw a few 30" dell's for 800 last month, and I was tempted to pick them up.

30" (and 28") is too freaking much for sitting like 18" away. I'd like to have one for display of the final videos, but I don't do enough video right now to warrant it.

I had two 20" Samsungs and really liked that setup... go w/ A, assuming you can work your HD magic or whatnot w/ that

Fuck a monitor. Build a stage and get people to act out the internet for you. That's baller shit.

Why on earth would you get a TN? They look terrible.

Get the MVA duals, or get a nice S-IPS if you can.

^eh... I've seen this with dual 19's, but you can't get IPS panels in 19's and pixel mapped HD would mean dual 24's at least. I'd need 2 desks, and a lot more graphics than whats chillin in my ATX-mini right now.
