I use a 17 inch monitor, and I think it is good enough for me.

I cannot phanthom being on a screen that huge it seems to me that it would eventually cause you vision problems. Do you ever have blurriness from sitting so close on a monitor so huge? What if any benefit is it from having a screen so large? Or is it you just like huge screens, the bigger the better I guess.
That can not be healthy for your vision at all. I hope you consider downsizing alittle, for the sake of your vision in the long run.

I agree, I have not been a huge fan of larger screens either. The bigger it gets, the more strain it puts on my eyes. A 17" monitor is very comfort for me, I don't plan to get thing bigger.

My wife's birthday present last week was an Apple Cinemedia 30" display.


It dominates the desktop.

That is a beauty, but still it seems too big. I look at my T.V. and wonder if I could really sit up infront of it like I do my monitor and I do not think I could do it. I know you like large monitors, but does your wife love them as well. She doesn't consider it to be too massive for her to sit so close on for long periods of time.

Nope, she loves it. I got a lot of points with that choice.

That's worth at least two nights out drinking. :p

a 19" is also quite good.. it depends on what you're going to use it for.. if its for gaming/entertainment/photoshop.. maybe a 24" would be good for you... those widescreens are really getting into my head.. heheh

Gosh, my 17" Envision suddenly seems SO tiny! I think I'll check out CompUSA and see if they're going to have some larger ones available in their "going outta business sale."

I have 26" Samsung.

Is it too big ?

I thought to buy 32" but I bought 26" only

Anyway, it depends upon your preference and budget.

True dat! My 17" sits a good 36 inches from me (just measured) and that works just fine. Since it does sit so far away, I'm sure I could go bigger but I'd need a good reason!

I have a 20" hp monitor, 1280 x 1024 resolution. It work's great, purchased it about a year ago, no technical difficulties as of yet. HP makes some high quality monitors so I'd definitely recommend their products.

We need to run extreme resolutions on this monitor and I am not a big fan.

Is 17" the perfect size, or maybe 19"?
what do you mean extreme resolution? Are you going to test the LCD with latest graphic card for PC games or is it just for your viewing pleasure..i mean watch movie.

I have a 19 inch Philips moniter. It is a glass one. I think mine is the correct size for me. I wouldn't be able to go any bigger. It's perfect for me.
