For as long as I can remember I have used Lightroom with two monitors; usually, the LR develop module running on the main monitor with the second monitor showing the file I'm working on full screen. Equally, each time I've replaced my monitors I've always bought two the same and I always seem to end up buying bigger from 19", then 21" through to my current Dell 24" IPS monitors. I've loved working with these calibrating them with my Spyder once a month.
However, one of these has developed a hardware fault - a single red vertical line. I swapped it to the second monitor so it's not so inconvenient but it still annoys me. So I started to look for replacements. I'm drawn to either BENQ or Dell (again) and had been looking at 27" (x2). But I got to thinking, is two necessary? Could I get away with one larger screen? I appreciate that will not give me the same screen real estate but I could still process the same way as I do now with two windows (I'm running MS Win10)?
Would anyone care to comment? Anyone had a similar situation and gone from dual to single? What size? I guess budget will be a deciding factor but I'm thinking £1,500 max. Thoughts? TIA
