Ha, nice hardware! That has the 2560x1600 resolution, right? If so, that's the same as my Dell 27" (U2711). Gawd, I love that monitor!

I just keep imagining that someday I'll be able to buy a 4k monitor, and a few Hasselblads, along with a nice Maserati or two...

Methinks that 4k displays will actually be pretty common in professional and semi-pro applications in 5 years. I think that the prices on them will drop even more dramatically than we're used to seeing.

And then, one day you find yourself staring at a 55" 'Monitor' and thinking "Geez, I wish that was bigger"...

Yes, I really think my 32" Apple Studio Display is way too small for exact post processing sometimes. Muahahah!

Yah, well... I upgraded from a 22" Samsung to the Dell U2711, and just for grins I rotated the Samsung portrait and stuck it next to the Dell. I used it that way for close to a year, then my son stole the Samsung when he went back to college... and now I'm thinking about getting another 22 to supplement the 27". Spoiled? Oh, yes, you get spoiled!

Congrats man. Good stuff I hope oyu enjoy it!
I have 2 screens an asus 24 inch ips and a westinghouse 20 inch run of the mill monitor from ages past.

I like to keep both around, because the Asus makes eerything look beautiful and has that wide gamut if i need it but, the westinghouse gives me a better picture of what a general run of the mill monitor may show (sure mines calibrated, but still it gives a better picture than the much higher quality asus. So ild keep the old monitor around if at all possible!
