Hello all, my first ever post here so go easy!

I run a small design agency, we do web and print based work.

My designers all have iMacs whereas I'm a PC fan, this won't change. However what I am envious of right now is their (IPS) screens compared to my three year old Samsungs TFT.

The question is, are the mac screens overrated or actually rather good for design work and if so what's a comparable 'PC' screen to buy?

One thing I really like about my current screen is the resolution of 2048x at on;y 23", I realise that I'm going to have to jump to a rather large 27" to better that as I can't find any high res 23-24" screens.
 
Perhaps if this isn't the best forum to ask on could someone point me in the right direction (so long as it doesn't break the rules)? Thank you.
 
Ok from what I can tell from searching the Dell UltraSharp U2711 seems to be the pinnacle especially for design. Any designers on here that work with one?
 
Interesting stuff, I didn't realise the Dell was matte, I certainly want a gloss finish so that discounts the Dell.

We do graphic design, branding and marketing, electronic (rgb) and print (cmyk or pantone).

That Samsung looks great, rather pricey but ultimately if it does a great job and lasts a few years it'll pay for itself. Is it geared towards professionals?
