I recently purchased a 27 inch Apple iMac.

I was having a hard time reading my laptop. My eyes are getting weak. A 27 inch screen allows me to read my monitor from a distance. There are times when two monitors can be helpful. For instance the column headings on a census form can be on one monitor while you read the data in the columns on another monitor. Or a second monitor can help in the copying of data from one form to another.

These pictures indicate how much larger my view is now. I am enjoying the view.
