    I'd say a Apple Cinema 30". Following that, an HP zr30 and then a Dell u3011.

    But otherwise this thread is senseless without a budget...

    According to the reviews I waded through, the HP ZR24w was highly rated amongst the 24" IPS screens out there. With an Aspect Ratio of 16:10 and a resolution of 1920 x 1200 it helps with the real estate problem.

    I also just happened to have a supplier who could deliver but overall I'm very satisfied.

    I can't answer your question, but after a bit of research I bought the Dell U2711. I am very happy with the screen, but please note that not all computer can take advantage of the high resolution (2560x1440).

    Best of luck with your search.

    Regards

    Hi

    I got it through our computer supplier (Crewtech). I think they are widely available.

    All the best
