Actually I'm looking for a new monitor (current 22 inches).
Field of activity - web serving, web coding (php, js, html etc.)
Additional activity - photography.
That is, color reproduction is extremely important (but not as much as in printing).

I'm considering two monitors now:
U2713HM - 27 inches, 2560 x 1440 and 0.23 mm pixel
U2412M - 24 inches, 1920x1200 and 0.27 pixel

Maybe someone has experience using a monitor with a grain of 0.23 - isn't everything too fine after 0.27 and Isn't it difficult to get used to and, in general, is it comfortable to work (at least 6-8 hours a day).

And an additional question - would you overpay twice (at least) for an extra 3 inches and even a monitor (10:16 vs. 10:9) ???

Got 24 inches. satisfied. Quite satisfied. I made an old 22-inch one and use it as a second monitor if necessary.

Soon a year since I own a Samsung SA850 on a PLS matrix, 27 inches, resolution - 2560x1440.
A very convenient resolution for working with graphics, texts, and layout.
The eyes do not get tired, the grain is not too small.
Sometimes there are problems with games - such a resolution is still a bit heavy :) But otherwise - a very, very good solution :)

you would pay double (at least) for the extra 3 inches

If I were you, in this case, I would take, better, 2 monitors.

I would venture to advise you . If your workplace allows you to remove the monitor from your eyes by 1-1.2 meters, then this, in my humble opinion, will be a very good option. I myself am engaged in photography, the impressions are simply gorgeous.

Maybe someone has experience using a monitor with a grain of 0.23 - is everything too small after 0.27 and is it not difficult to get used to and, in general, is it comfortable to work (at least 6-8 hours a day).
- We use a laptop 18.4 "with 1920x1080 in our work, before that we used 24" with 1920x1200.
At first it was a little unusual, but in fact, now they wouldn’t switch to 24 ". On a 100% scale, everything is perfectly visible - the size of the point is ideal, and at the same time you don’t have to move your head and eyes from side to side so much, which made you tired.
Sphere activities - web serving, web coding (php,js,html etc.)
U2713HM - 27", 2560 x 1440 and 0.23 mm pixel
U2412M - 24", 1920x1200 and 0.27 pixel
- In 1920, _a little_ 2 standard 1024 windows side by side do not fit (many programs are still configured so that this is the minimum comfortable resolution). As a result, this is often annoying (there were monitors with a width of 2048, it is better there), in 2560 this problem will not exist, and even 1280 will normally have 2 windows side by side. But that's how tiring it is to turn your head and eyes at 27 "- this is a question.
The field of activity is web serving, web coding (php, js, html etc.)
And an additional question - would you overpay twice (at least) for an extra 3 inches and even a monitor (10:16 vs. 10:9) ???
- Widescreen is worse for work, in 1920x1080, compared to 1920x1200, these 120 pixels in height are sorely lacking.

2x 24 inches. Two monicas are more convenient than one big one

I looked at the Ukrainian Rozetka - 27 "is two (!) Times more expensive than 24", but 27", as I understand it, is a "new". there people change them in the first month under warranty often.
So I guess for myself - wait. By the way, when you get used to 2 monitors, like me (laptop 14 + 19 "or 21", at your old job), you can understand that it's more convenient for you (and continue to buy 2x27", if the video supports it). For now, it's just more convenient for me on two desktops scatter - a semi-personal browser / ICQ / Skype + on the main (left) console, admin panels, manuals, etc. again, on the second it is more convenient to keep RDP / teamviewer sessions.

I have a U2713HM, so if you have any specific questions about it, you can ask.
The color reproduction is good and my eyes don't get tired.
Before that, there was a monitor with 0.27 grain - the transition did not cause discomfort.

Buy another one for 22' and put it next to it. It will be great for both work and surfing :)
