Re: Monitor Recommendation

I have a model like this.  The screen is very nice but I cannot
recommend it.  It will show a beautiful image with great viewing
angles but the resolution is too high for the screen size.  Text is
way too small.  Yes, you can adjust the text size but then many
webpages are not shown/formatted correctly.  Outlook does not display
many areas with the enlarged font size so the font is so tiny that it
is hard to read (and proof).  Also, some menus still use the smaller
native font size even after the increased size is set (at least in XP
Pro, maybe Vista is better). 

I would go for a 19" with its lower resolution over a 20" just because
it is easier to read. Definitely go for a 24" if you are going for a a
screen larger than 24".  A 26" would be even nicer since it uses the
same resolution ;)

My $.02,

Doug
