Want to talk about music hardware or software that doesn't include Reason?

* Note: this is probably US-only

Looks like Newegg is letting a 27" curved display go (1080p) for just $199 USD, which is a pretty damn good deal (ends August 27th):

Acer ED273 Abidpx 27" Curved Full HD 4ms (GTG) 144Hz Widescreen LCD/LED AMD FreeSync Gaming Monitor HDMI DisplayPort DVI

Taking into consideration Reason is still locked in the DPI/resolution stone-age, this display may get you some mileage.

1080p at 27" means some pretty big pixels. If you want a monitor that is effectively "zoomed in" permanently, this is a good choice, but otherwise I'd go with either 1440p at 27" or 1080p at 21-24".

Sure, but $199 USD for a curved display is a pretty sweet deal.
