RiseAbove posted : 27" Apple monitors are the way to go. You may think it's a lot to deal with right away but the resolution is what makes it worth every penny. At work I have a thunderbolt display, at home I have a 27 iMac and an Apple Displayport 27" monitor and I would never go down in size. Once you get use to it there is no turning back.

pitroad01 posted : amazing, I posted a similar question awhile back when I thought about replacing my 18.5" monitor with a 32" HDTV that took a lightening hit and zapped the HDMI ports. It still would work fine as a monitor but I thought it was too big. Bottom line, I hooked it up and would never go back to anything smaller.

buckingham posted : My iMac is a 27" and I love it. A week and a half ago, I bought a 13" MBP Retina as a new "work" machine under my employer's new BYOD policy. (the 13" for portability when I travel on business) I'm currently using it with the 22" Dell monitor here in my office that was mated to my older Dell laptop. I'm not overly happy about it...and have decided that when the cards fall right, a 27" T-bolt display will replace the very nice, but inadequate 22" Dell.

That said, what folks already intimated is good...if you tend to only run one thing at a time, then a smaller screen can work well. If, like many of us, you multitask and prefer to be able to see multiple windows and applications concurrently, then the larger screen is a must.

skeechan posted : No doubt. I went from a Dell 30" to a T-Bolt and thought I was cutting my hand off. No way I could do daily work with a 21. I ordered a JPN retina MBP today but really debated picking up a 17" refurb instead. Eye candy won in this instance.

And you’re from Texas,…..!?!

Anyone else seeing the irony here,….?

***edit***

Honestly no, I don’t think 27” monitors are too big but these things can be subjective. I have five 27” monitors of different make and model and while I wouldn’t make a change now I could see going bigger in the future.

"Downgraded" this past weekend to the Mac Mini with the Thunderbolt 27" display. Now that I've had a week it seems overly large with me sitting two feet away. Now I'm rethinking whether or not I should have stayed with the laptop even though it primarily stays on the desk. I would like the 21" iMac possibly but it isn't shipping yet and the clock is ticking on my ability to return.

Other monitor options that aren't SO large?

I cant live without it - makes my 21 inch monitor (to the right) look tiney - that screen on the right is for all the windows VM stuff on my mac...

howardfine posted : If you only work with one thing at a time then, yes, you don't need a screen that big. If you find yourself switching between apps frequently, then you should be keeping each on your screen and sized to fit a portion of it.

In my case, I have three 24" monitors and each has multiple windows open in them but that's an extreme case compared to normal users (I"m a web developer).
