hahaha. I didn't think that brand is still around.

We sold many 5 or 6 years ago as they were dirt cheap. Not a bad little monitor - only shortcoming (or not, for some) is that it needed a power brick.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

27 is honestly a little too big.

You don't KNOW that!

Boooo. I don't think you can every have too large of a screen. (desktop as least)

Although I understand the tiny size thing, but I jacked up the size on everything for my 27" at work. I'm getting old and just don't care about tiny fonts anymore. But I'll still take a big screen any day.

I have 2 24" monitors at work.  I love them.  I wouldn't mind having a 24" at home but at some point there is only so much your eye can consume in a gaming environment.  Don't get me wrong... from a dev standpoint, I agree 100%.  Give me a huge one.  For gaming... eh?

The trend is dual and triple monitors are on the way out to be replaced by a single unit and a curved single in due time.

I like my dual setup 24/21, however the next time I may consider a single wider unit. 

I could see using a 27" now that they are starting to ramp pixel density.

You have more than enough space and I bet you would dig a 27".

meh, I work with 19" monitor plugged into my macbook pro and use the laptop as my primary screen.  At home I just have 19" screen and I'm happy with that.

as an aside, when my wife and I came home from our honeymoon in 2003 with pockets full of wedding-gift cash, we bought our first flatscreen monitor: a 15" Sony on sale at CompUSA for $499.

At work: two 19" connected to a physical laptop, one 22" connected to my surface pro, an iPad, two 24" connected to a thin client that runs 8 virtual desktops.

At home: a Mac Mini connected to my TV that I never get to use and wife/family has a 19" Dell All in One that I rarely get to use.
