I have a 15-inch, which is fine, but if I could afford a 17-inch (it's either that or GP3 and CMR2 - eventually - and there's no contest), I'd buy one. -- David.

> Is 14 inch too small? Does a one legged duck swim in a circle? :-) I just picked up a Viewsonic PF790 19" monitor for just under $575 including taxes and a 3 year extended warranty. While that may sound like a lot of cash, consider this... The 17" MAG / Innovision which it replaced (and I still have attached to my old pc) is 5 years old and still going strong. Basically a monitor should be considered a long term investment, and since it will be your primary connection between yourself and your PC for the next several years (at least) I wouldn't skimp on size or quality, even if you can find a large 19" or 21" for $200, you'll get what you paid for!

Right! I got a 300 buck 19" unit at Best Buy in Fort Wayne, IN 15 months ago, and it is doing great! And did it ever help me in GPL!! I still stink at each and every track in GPL, but I can see where I'm going so much BETTER while I stink!

i got a 21" KDS at Office Depot for $699. Not the greatest picture but is definitely worth it for that size. "John Moore" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%eme5.2188$[email hidden]... > and you could have gotten a KDS which in a side by side comparison isgreat
