What size monitor do you use?

Less than 15"

15"

17"

19"

20"

21" & up

***edit***I forgot to post what I use. I use a 19"

Captain Slug · 01-14-03, 03:18 PM

17"

Anything larger wouldn't fit my desk. I did however use a flat 15" CRT for 6 years. I only upgraded because that one was dying.

FeralCom · 01-14-03, 03:21 PM

17”

And I just moved from 15” to 17” about a year ago.

Recently, I almost went to 19”, but decided I wanted to have my two monitors to match. I like my stuff to look good and the last thing I wanted on my desk was two monitors that were different colors.

17” is big enough. My next buy will be an LCD projector. Those usually have the ability to put out a picture larger than you can accommodate.

Ohh...and I still use a 15".

Tw00sh · 01-14-03, 03:25 PM

I use a 19".

After using the 19" for so long, a 17" seems too small to me now. LOL

oppajer · 01-14-03, 03:27 PM

21 CRT, had a 15 inch LCD, but gave it to my sister as a x-mas gift.

Titan386 · 01-14-03, 03:52 PM

I've got one 17" right now, but I am considering going dual, if I can find enough space on my desk.

Yakbak · 01-14-03, 03:56 PM

17", running at 1024x768 on most applications.

Maximouse · 01-14-03, 04:22 PM

2 21' Dells on one machine. Rig 2 has a 17 inch Philips and Rig 3 has a 20" Dell.

Arkaine23 · 01-14-03, 04:25 PM

21" at work

19" at home

tatanka · 01-14-03, 04:25 PM

42" NEC Plasma screen!!!! w00t.... too bad it's at my work and I only sit by the PC it's attached too *sigh*... at home I use a 19" sony trinitron

GT2000 · 01-14-03, 04:27 PM

19", just upgraded from the 17" that I gave to my brother.

EmTSea19 · 01-14-03, 04:28 PM

17" extremely heavy CRT. I want an LCD, but can only afford the 15".

Dr3w · 01-14-03, 04:28 PM

Pinky · 01-14-03, 04:37 PM

15" LCD

HaTE · 01-14-03, 04:50 PM

i have a 17" monitor, i wish i had waited a few weeks nore because then i could of had a 19" for the same price:/ but it wouldn't of fit on my desk

Deathknight · 01-14-03, 04:51 PM

All my machines have 19" but I am itching to get a 21 these days.

Decaf · 01-14-03, 05:25 PM

19" CTX that I've had for 4.5 years. Cost something like $500+. I cringe thinking of what that could buy me now.

NiTrO bOiE · 01-14-03, 05:48 PM

17" Mag

Jon · 01-14-03, 06:14 PM

Thought I'd turn it into a poll, by request. Never seen one for this so thought it'd be a good idea.

So let's see what you use (primarily).

21" for me.

yfan · 01-14-03, 07:24 PM

2x 21" Nokia 445xPro, really cheap but worth the money monitors

OH monitor.....

Well then it's 17"

NewBldr · 01-14-03, 11:01 PM

Just got my beautiful NEC 19" Multisync. Great monitor by my standards. I've always wanted NEC, but ended up settling. They rock!

I know I know, some up and coming manufacturers coming out, but I just wanted an NEC.

Next monitor will be LCD. This one was a bargain for $260. Won't be finding a 19" LCD with this quality at that price for a few years

Gregx · 01-15-03, 12:52 AM

15 lcd

ducttapedominic · 01-15-03, 12:52 AM

2 19" philips 109b's

nothing beats a wall of screen

jlin453 · 01-15-03, 01:13 AM

19" Viewsonic...flat screen (no lcd)

Silversinksam · 01-15-03, 02:40 AM

21" for me

And I might add I've never paid more that $260 shipped for any 21" I've ever purchased. With all the DOT COMS going belly up the market has been flooded with high end monitors at great prices, you just need to shop around and be patient.

hduong · 01-15-03, 03:15 AM

Dual monitors for me.

21" dell FD trinitron and 17" dell regular CRT.

I recently upgraded from a 19" flatron and 15" nec CRT.

-I bought the 21" dell
-Traded my 19" faltron with my friend for his 17" samsung 700NF+cash
-I then exchanged the 700NF with my borther for his 17" dell.( I figured it wasn't fair that I had two flatscreen monitors and he had none, sort of a christmas gift from me)
- then sold my 15" nec

I love dual monitors. I recommed it to anybody who routinely has multiple windows open at the same time.

JigPu · 01-15-03, 10:01 AM

My computer is using a 17", and the Gateway has a 15".

I REALLY wish I could get a 19"+ monitor..... I go over to all my friends, and they have these huge monitors that seem to envellop your vision (19"). Also, I've noticed that all the big monitors I've seen all have a flat surface instead of curved. And that's another thing that looks cool about them that makes me wanna get one!

ManOfKnight · 01-15-03, 10:16 AM

My 17" monitor died about a month ago...RIP

So I went out and bought a new ViewSonic 19" monitor...WOW is this thing bigger...I LOVE IT!!!!
