1080p on an RCA 40" HDTV. Picture is perfectly smooth

Generates a lot of heat though, gets a little warm sitting at the desk.

big monitors are annoying. you gain much more for having two or more vertical widescreen monitors.
I got a 52 inch lcd tv to my most powerful machine (flash requires more horse power than a tow boat)

Once you get that extra room, you find uses for it real quick. Eventually, if you need to go back to a smaller display, you feel cramped and confined.

But in my opinion, having multiple monitors is more important than having one big monitor. Whenever my desktop machine is working (ahem,) I have a 19-inch wideshortscreen LCD plus a 17-inch CRT. Neither of these monitors is anything special, but together you get a lot of room at a reasonable price.

Using the 27-inch iMacs at the local University library seems vacuous and empty to me. I really don't like having multiple windows visible at the same time (no idea why, it just doesn't feel right,) so with a bigger monitor, past a certain point, I actually get less information per square inch.

But with two monitors, I can maximize two windows at the same time. For me, this is great, and it literally doubles my productivity. Also, check out this video:
