So do I. But at my workstation, I face a (fading) CRT monitor which 
backs into a corner. And its rear sticks into corner space which is 
hard to use for much of anything else anyway. So I haven't the same 
incentive as Steve. But I want an LCD anyway because some of them 
pivot or rotate.

A 19-inch, 1280x1024 LCD can, for example, be both a ~12-inch+ by 
~15-inch "portrait" display and a ~15-inch by ~12-inch+ "landscape" 
display. That's right-sized for me because, although I do like to see 
the image full-size on the screen, a 16 x 20 mat and frame are as 
large as I can conveniently handle in my small quarters.

The upper shelf of my two-tiered corner cart can accommodate on top 
both my 17" CRT palette monitor and a 19" LCD, even in landscape 
orientation. (It can accommodate more nicely a killer dual-display 
notebook on the lower layer and a larger LCD alone on top, but that's 
another thread.)

I don't know whether the other displays already mentioned as 
satisfactory also pivot/rotate, but EIZO has pivoting LCDs which are 
also designed for color-critical work at 19", 20", and 21". The EIZOs 
are more expensive, but they also have the longest warranties and the 
best spec's I've seen.
