[Cialug] Monitors

[Dave J. Hala Jr.]

For me, its not about movies and gaming -for that I use XP on a
widescreen Inspiron (ya,ya I know). But if I had a 20in or 24 inch, I
would have enough pixel real estate that I could use it like a dual head
display. For me, that's really productive, as I constantly switch back
and forth between windows and desktops. 

Anyway, I think we are at the price point were it is about the same cost
to use a pair of 17 displays, comnpared to a 20, but the 20in is a good
compromise, with a simpler setup (on linux) and a lot higher "cool"
factor...
