27'' Dell XPS One27 + Dell 24'' side monitor

I would have a hard time going to less than 27'' for video/design/code, so I use the 24'' which is smaller and lower color quality as well for testing what a surfer would see.. (exactly like you mentioned, it looks completely different on the standard mon so that's always the final test, sometimes I need to go back and edit colors again, but the time to do that is less than the time wasted in lower productivity from a smaller monitor)

I've got a hotkey set up with DisplayFusion to resize the browser window to 1024x768 as well, because that's the main res that causes me problems.

Having the extra vertical room to display all your code etc without scrolling up and down all the time is by far the best reason to go 27'' if that's the sort of work you're doing.
