2560x2048 would be awesome (they exist but they cost about 5-10 times what a 2560x1440 does.. http://www.ieiworld.co.uk/products/MMD_5201M-1323-459.html).

Two of those side by side would be perfect.

I have dual 2560x1440's at work (24") and that's nice but the extra 608 height would be great for things like Chrome devtools etc.

You have just turned two 5:4 monitors into a 10:4 monitor - and the closest format to that exists in a form of current 21:9 monitors, with acceptable prices.

"Two of those side by side would be perfect."

When used in a discussion regarding the desirableness of the aspect ratio 4:3, 1:1 etc, I find this statement quite amusing :)

For the price of that. I would rather buy raw panels and build something my self.

Also medical monitors tend be very expensive for what they are, but have good contrast. Also a lot are only gray scale.
