I’ve been on the fence for a while about picking up a new monitor for work. The provided 1280×1024 LCD is just not enough for web development, where I typically have iTunes, TextMate, multiple terminals, Firefox, Firebug, Thunderbird, Adium, and Tweetie open.

I made up my mind one weekend, but forgot about it and, when I remembered Monday morning, it turns out that NewEgg is serious when they call them weekend deals. This weekend, though, they’re serious when they call them deals! My problem this time is with making up my mind. If you’re in the market for a big LCD, do it now!

• Big on name brands? HP 21.5″, 1920×1080, $204.99. (You pay shipping.)
• Samsung’s ridiculous 23″, 2048×1152 monitor, $219.99 and free shipping.

I’ve got the dirt-cheap Hanns-G in my cart right now, but it’s tempting to pay a tiny bit more and get the full 1080p Asus. Or another $50 and get the ludicrous 2048×1152 one.
