Hey guys, I am somewhat in the market for a new monitor (may actually be going eyefinity, it looks ).  Anyways, as I look around, I seem to be seeing a lot more 16:9 screens vs 16:10 (or 1920x1080 rather than 1920X1200 for those of you who dont understand what I mean).

Take that new imac 27'' for instance, 2560x1440.  I am particularly interested in the new dell 27'':

27'' IPS pannel, (essentially the same as there 24'' IPS screen).

NEC have some new gear that I suspect we will see at CES and again, there 27'' is expected to be 2560x1440, just like the mac (and apparantly the dell). 

My main point is, where should I put my allegiance so to speak.  I wouldnt attempt to justify 3x30'' monitors, for price or practicallity, but if the 27'' screens are priced realtivly well, I may go for my eyefinity set up.  I'd prefer 16:10.

What do you guys think, 16:9 or 16:10?

16:10 is superior for everything but movies.

Unfortunately, the manufacturers have fooled everyone into believing that's a good thing.

I'll stick to my cheap 16:10 Packard Bell forever.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

If you do eyefinity, I'll kill you if you don't build a racing cockpit.

I had a similar concern but I did get to use one at a shop in Glasgow, the bar is far back enough that it doesnt get in the way of shifting your feet around on the pedals (much).  Although it obviously be better if it wasnt there.

Besides, the rennsport one is even more expensive.  I wouldnt buy the full package, as I would need to fit three screens round it so some customisation would be needed
