i've been happily using the dell 24" for past 2 years... got the 360, ps3 and comp all running through it. and the memory card reader is nice too.

i now have the option of running the 27.5" viewsonic. screen real estate is amazing. however, i've read some not-so-good reviews and it seems lacking in some of its features (haven't had a chance to actually plug it in yet), and I'm not sure which one would be a better monitor for use with the 360/ps3/comp. As far as I can tell, the dell uses the PVA panel and the viewsonic is a TN panel. should i just use the dell for the comp and move the consoles to the viewsonic? or perhaps a dual monitor setup?

what would you do?

p.s. i've never run a dual monitor setup. how would the connections work (i have the 1900xt in CF mode (i realize CF is not possible while in dual monitor mode). do i simply plug in a dvi cable from the slave 1900xt's second dvi port to the secondary monitor while the primary monitor is hooked up via the dongle?
