I have a ViewSonic 21", running at 1600x1200, 75Hz, 16 bit color. Nice screen, too. 75Hz is a bit low, I'd prefer 85, but that's the limit for this model at this resolution. I wish it was bigger still, and as soon as there is a 24" screen on the market at an acceptable price that I can do 2048x1536 on, I'll get it. I'm a multimedia producer with my own company, so it's a cost for the firm, not really out of my own pocket so to speak. Otherwise I'd be happy with 19" or 20" for sure. As it is, I sit in front of the thing all day long, so picture quality and the ability to see a lot of info all at once are critical to my effectiveness at working. Ever tried doing a complex production in Director, Photoshop, Sound Forge and After Effects on a small screen? (not all at the same time, of course) All those menus, drives you crazy.... Those apps I do for work, Poser I do for fun. And a lot of fun it is! I do my productions for 800x600 at 16 bit, as that is about the lowest common denominator these days. Used to 640x480 until recently. Laptop screens have improved. Many graphics people work in 1280x1024 or thereabouts, a lot of 3D pros in 1600x1200 or thereabouts. Trouble with 1280x1024 is that it's not a correct 4:3 ratio, so everything tends to look a bit squashed. You need to be careful about that! :]FishNose
