The smaller, cheaper monitor has all the controls and buttons on it, while the large high-quality screen has mostly just the image on it. I find users appreciate having the interface and the view on separate monitors. Keeping the large high-quality one free for the imaging view lets the users tile out their channels with nothing obscuring the windows. For my setups that have just a single monitor, you want at least a 27" class monitor with 2560x1400 resolution so you have room for both the interface and the view. There are 'Ultra HD' displays coming out that have 3800+ pixels, but I worry that the overall quality of the display, such as color reproduction, has taken a hit for the sake of the higher resolution.

Hi JP,
Other things to consider: 1) Pixel pitch. Maybe you were running the 21.3" (4:3) monitor at 1600x1200 resolution? That would mean .27mm. I would not go smaller than this. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/specs.htm So if you have 3200 x 1200 total desktop resolution, then one possibility is 2560 x 1440 on a 32" (16:9) screen. 2) Height and tilt adjustments. I always get monitors with these, even though they are more expensive. We recently purchased the BenQ BL3200PT and seems good so far, comparable to the HP that typically ships with a new confocal. Here are some vendor web sites that might help for the comparisons: http://www.cnet.com/topics/monitors/buying-guide/ http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/faq.htm http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Monitors-Displays/ci/6559/N/3878805754/view/Grid http://www.newegg.com/LCD-LED-Monitors/SubCategory/ID-20 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/guidedSearch.asp?CatId=12 Cheers, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Michael Giacomelli [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 9:38 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: Monitor for confocal microscope ***** To join, leave or search the confocal microscopy listserv, go to: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=confocalmicroscopy Post images on http://www.imgur.com and include the link in your posting. ***** I would recommend using the same or similar resolution as the original monitors.

We had ours replaced under warranty (same problem--one of the 21" monitors failed). They replaced the defective one with a 30" NEC LED Multisync. What we now do is put the live-view window on the big monitor and put all the control panels on the small one. I've used single-monitor systems (on a Zeiss) and I don't like it--I always had some control panel in the way of live-view, and found myself constantly moving them around.

I bought it at tigerdirect during $299 sale but currently only walmart seems to sell for $339 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Seiki-Digital-SE39UY04-39-4K-Ultra-HD-2160p-120Hz-LED-HDTV/33490005 However. one should keep in mind that graphics card may need to be upgraded that adds at least $70. Regarding performance. I corroborate George that 4k monitor is extremely impressive, equivalent of having FOUR full HD monitors. However, most of the current software including the OS windows 7 are not 4k resolution ready yet, However, just few limitations/problems I encountered: 1. intermittent few second delays in computer response 2. intermittent freezes and crashes of software especially web browser 3. no stable graphics card drivers for 4k resolution More reliable and efficient current alternative to 4k monitor would be lower resolution one (e.g. HP ZR30W, 2560x1600 as suggested by George) combined with virtual desktop of 4k or even higher resolution. BTW, HP has DreamColor Z27x which allows (in hardware) to scroll around 4k image. Did anybody test how it works?

You can find 22" monitors below $90 each. It would be very helpful if you tell the resolution of your original 21.3 inch displays. My Core this year purchased several new microscopy and confocal systems. They came with 24-30 inch HP or Dell monitors. HP ZR30W is really good monitor and at 2560x1600 pixels resolution most likely would replace the functionality of dual older monitors.
