Monitor sizes?

[Mandible]

I am just wondering, what size monitors are people using.

If you have a crt monitor, measue the actual screen size, as the on-the-box size includes the frame.

Are you down with the lowly 15's like i am? or are you bigging it up with the 24's?

At the moment I'm using a 19" Samsung, although as I'm undergoing a complete upgrade I will eventually be purchasing two 23" widescreens. This is the setup that Deshman is using and it rocks :yumyum:

Don't forget to use the poll people!

the problem i have with this.. is that TFT's... are(mostly) NOT 4:3

CRT's were 4:3

TFT's are mostly 5:4

unless its a widescreen in which case most are infact 16:10 NOT 16:9

I'm in the 24" category, 1920x1200 (16:10)

the resolution which is 16:9 for these type of widescreens (usually tv's) is 1920x1080 (aka 1080p/i)

 

[equk]

I have a 19" 4:3

I'm thinking of maybe getting a widescreen.

I nearly bought a 24" just a min ago. I might get one after christmas, but for now my 19" is ok

I think for £140 a 22" is good, but keep thinking paying £260+ for a monitor is a lot of money so haven't bought a 24"

 

[Toxcity]

I have a 19" widescreen acer TFT and am in love with it!

Where on earth do you get a 22" for £140 (building a rig for my mate and that would be sweet!)

On topic, I rock a 24" and its a love hate relationship

You can't go wrong with a Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP!!

Best monitor I've owned and it actually saves on desk space over my old CRT

 

[ali_james]

17" you just can't beat that ghetto feeling. And frame rates aren't too bad at all

 

[Colossous]

20" widescreen Belinea (great screen) but saving for a Dell 24" !
