Some 30 in monitors have this resolution: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260132

 2560 x 1600

There may be some cheaper 27in ones with the same resolution, but these monitors will look so much better than your 20ins.

Hi, so i currently have 3 Samsung p2050 monitors in landscape mode. I usually have IM/twitter open on one and often keep webpages open on the other. My plan is to switch the two end ones into portrait mode and get a larger middle monitor.

However, i need them to all be the same size. I used to have it that the monitors were different sizes and the screens didnt line up (drove me crazy) so this is a requirement for me.

These are the dimensions of my current monitors. The resolution is 1600x900.

When looking for a new one do i just need to look for one which has a 1600px height? or does that not correspond to the actual size of the monitor? Do i need to search for the same pixels or the same screen height?

I use the computer for productivity and gaming.
Lastly can anyone recommend a website that i can compare lots of different monitors by the criteria above?

Many Thanks!!

A dell u3011 should be really close but probably not an exact match. The 1600 x 1200 dell monitors are the only ones that match its height perfectly I believe.
