Bigger is nicer, and I am looking longingly at that nice widescreen Dell 20" LCD but I really can't rationalize it.

I'm very happy with my dual 17" NEC Multisync LCD1765 monitors. From past experience I've found I don't like dual monitors when they're different sized and different resolutions, so I think I'll stick to the NECs.

Replaced my old 19" Viewsonic with a off lease 21" black Dell badged Trinitron CRT, it was a great deal. I'm holding out on LCD's for now, I'm sure by the time this thing kicks the bucket they will be really good for gaming and cheaper as well...

Had to upgrade myself. Tired of lookin at a monitor that was almost as big as my tv. Ended up getting a Samsung Syncmaster 913v 19" LCD. Damn I was missing out! Super crisp compared to my old 21" Dell Trinitron.

finaly dicthed one of my 21" CRTs for a dell 20.1 fpw lcd. I like it... but would have perfered a 4:3 monitor simply because it looks smaler when next to the remaning 21" crt. but i cant complain that much for the price... took it out this weekend for a lan.. wow does it make movig stuff easy.

hah I was just gonna post the same thing, I got rid of my 21" CRT and got the 2005FPW as well. got it on sale so I'm happy. yeah it seems a bit small vertically but you get used to it, games and widescreen tv shows look sweet on it. only thing that seem small are 4:3 shows, but big deal...

got my new 19" DELL Ultrasharp in the mail today, its a nice screen, but a little small. Maybe should have saved a few months longer and gotten myself the 24" wide.
All the best from the west!
