              Yup, ya gotta have a big monitor or it'll kill your eyes. On a 21" it's fine and a 21" CRT doesn't cost much these days.

                I've been on (at least) 1600x1200 with OS fonts set at 10px -- since I got my first 17". Did you really have problems at that resolution, click?

                          you know someone that has not worked in video editing or photoshop much, cause they have their res set to 1024x768

                          once you work in video editing or big photoshop files at 1600x1200 you can't ever go back

                                      15" thats to small.

                                      I have a pair of 19" crt running 1600x1200


                                      I dont know how people live with a small monitor, or one with low rez, and without two monitors actually. I feel cramped without two.

                                                          yeah, a lot of people don't realize you have to also change the refresh rate along with the resolution...otherwise you get a headache, BIG TIME

                                                              Refresh rates change when you increase your resolution. You want at LEAST 85 hertz. They say the minimum you should have is 75, but i still find that causes headeaches with more than a few hours of use. 85 hertz or higher is the way to go.
                                                              26 + 6 = 1
