  1. Kizza, yes as far as the 27" that is all you can get from apple now. however you may find 30's on the web.

    DWorks, I have not found that having a larger screen is a hindrance when moving a mouse around. yes the area is bigger and takes me 2 swipes of the mouse about 5" or so to stretch across both. but the real gain is in the amount of info, and for CAD work the amount of the drawing I can show at once. This equates to less panning of the drawing and a better overall visual when I am designing.

    Now I am not saying that every one should go invest in large screen 50" TV's, but I am saying that understanding how you design (individually) should be the determining factor in monitor size. But for sure the added monitor in almost any size is a great benefit that I believe anyone would see.

    Kizza, yes the 27" only comes in glossy and I find that to be frustrating. but I have talked to many people with the glossy and said it to not be too bad. Or you could get a film to apply to the surface.

  2. The bigger the better is my belief. The more real estate you have the better you can operate smoothly. I have one monitor only for my design layer the other for the OIP, Resource browser, Navigation Pallet, Visualization, and working planes. while also room for my calendar, email, itunes and if I need web browser for research during design.

    Granted Apple is not making the 30" any more but the 27" is fantastic.

    And if I could add a better card I would run 3 monitors.

    Although now I have been spoiled and cant hardly bring myself to use my 17" macbook due to the small screen.

    To sum up, money can be tight but 2 monitors is well worth it.
