I've been looking around at dells site, and i found some good monitors that suit me, but they're kinda expensive. does 6-700$ monitors at that size exist, or do they all cost 1100$?

All of the listed 2560X1600 monitors are 30 inchers. $1100US is the low end.

Here's what the really cool people may be using:

Apple Cinema HD Display (30" flat panel) - Apple Store (U.S.)

You'll pay a premium for the fruit logo on that one.

I'd recommend one of HP's S-IPS big displays (although myself I have a Dell 24" - I later got buyer's remorse)

also the sheer size and resolution of these things makes 'em just a bit expensive!

I had a 30" dell 3007wfp, just went last month, I havent been able to find one repair shop that fixes it. most of them wont do anything beyond 24". Dell support is garbage, they told me id have to fork out 1100 bucks for a new mainboard, or buy a new one! why not get 6x24" could be cheaper. IMO the high resolution is great if your a designer, not needed if your a gamer.
