Your Monitor, How Big

[moonboots]

I have just upgraded from a crt to a 17" whoppa :lolflag: wow the difference is amazing

[pseudo-random]

Two 22" Widescreen TFT's. Not terribly ethical but gives a great 3360x1050 widescreen picture. :)

[Blue Heron]

2x17=2560*1024 Pixels

[y6FgBn)~v]

22 inch widescreen

[Exershio]

I've got a 19" 5:4 LCD monitor. I love it.

[chris4585]

22" widescreen here

[diskotek]

i've got a cheap and nice asus 19" wide screen...(however i have problems about colors)

[Hells_Dark]

A lovely iiyama 24'' :)

[-grubby]

I have a 19 inch Widescreen LCD @ 1440x900

[LaRoza]

I just (again) upgraded from 17" to 22" widescreen.

[Onyros]

12 incher on one of the laptops, 15.4 widescreen on the other; 15 inch screen on the good old iMac G3 and 17 inch screen on the desktop; the server has a 16 inch old Mac studio display CRT (when it's connected).

Jeez. I have too many computers at home right now. This is not counting my wife's 15 inch laptop (great display at 1400x1050 there) which she wants to get rid of to get a 13.3 inch Macbook.

Does the N800 count as something below 15 inches as well?...

(I'm gonna get rid of it all and just get an abacus)

[Redache]

I have a 22" Acer Widescreen (as stated in my Signature) I upgraded from a 17" CRT and the difference is almost astounding. Love it to death.

[elmer_42]

I have a Hanns G JW199D. It is a 19 inch widescreen LCD monitor.

[TeraDyne]

20" Dell widescreen LCD. Got it with my Dellbuntu. I love it.

[fedex1993]

Have a 19 inch running at 1280x1024 and then my main monitor 22 inch running at 1650x1080 and then now a nice little second 19 incher running at 1280x1024

[DUfire]

Are you guys running desktops [I hope]?
'Cause I'm only 15' 4'' and this is moderate size for me.
Lol.

[Saint Angeles]

19" widescreen Samsung Syncmaster 941bw

1440 x 900 res... perfect looking

[swoll1980]

I think somebodys fibbing. Everybody I know has a computer. Not one of them has a monitor over 19 in. For 40% of the people posting to have 20 in + seems a little fishy.
20 in. Yes sure it is untill you get to the locker room.

LG L1710B 17" 1280x1024 which I've had for a while. I paid more for it than you can buy a complete PC and monitor for nowadays......

I guess it looks funny :)

[rune0077]

I used to have a 22", but that was actually to big for me (not as in taking up to much space, but just to big for how close I'm sitting to it at my desk). Now I've changed it to one 20" and one 17", that way I can do my regular stuff on the 17", and watch movies and play the occasional game on the 20".

[Zeotronic]

I have a single 15 inch LCD screen... and while I rather like that size, I admit that I would prefer something bigger for my hobbies (which are programming and 3D modeling)... especially 3D modeling... I have yet to make Blender work well with a 15 inch screen... oh sure, I get by... but getting by is overrated.

[Scruffynerf]

This thread is timely.

Just today upgraded from a 19" CRT to a 22" Widescreen (Samsung 226BW), and loving it.

[moonboots]

40 people have over 20" :shock:

[Nevon]

I have an enormous (in the bad way) 19" CRT screen. I've been wanting to buy a 22" widescreen for a while now, but I just can't seem to bring myself to part with those $400.

same :D
way to kill the earth eh?

[hessiess]

19" LCD wide-screen, could be bigger and it took forever to calibrate, but overall its good considering how cheep it was. I may go back to a CRT, they are imposable to beet in terms of colour accuracy and response time.

[smartboyathome]

One 21 inch wide on my desktop, one 15 inch wide on my laptop.

[scorp123]

Two 24.1" LCD screens from SUN Microsystems ... And the best thing is: I got them for free :D

[Happy_Man]

Heehee, a 17 inch 5:4 running at 1280x1024 and a 17 inch widescreen running at 1440x900.

And at all the people who say that there's no way so many people could have giant monitors:

You've gotta understand the demographics of this forum. There is a thread about it somewhere, but basically it boils down to the fact that you've got a lot of IT people, and people who make enough money to drop the amount needed for a multi-monitor setup with two or three 24-inchers. So it's not that all the people on the forum have that kind of setup, but more that that segment of the community is more likely to brag about their uber-l33t setup.

Also, most people with monitors they like will be responding to this thread (called "Your Monitor, How Big")

Dual 17" CRT's, both from Dell and both similar models (I got one on craigslist and one for free of a street corner :lolflag:) Oh yeah they both run at 1280x1024, not bad at all :-) The monitors are Dell E771p (use as main, IDK why) and Dell E772c (I'm assuming it's newer but w/e)

13.3" screen on my MacBook, but my old desktops share two 19" (not widescreen) monitors that, due to the graphical capabilities of these computers, tend to be run at 1024x768.
Thinkpad T20: 14.1" running at 1024x768.
Thinkpad 560: 12.1" running at 640x480 (the driver is weird, can't go beyond that unfortunately).

[arsenic23]

Now that I think of it I don't know the dimension of my monitor in inches..... but it's 1680 x 1050 pixels. Prolly a 22inch.... maybe 24.

[Robertjm]

Samsung 22" monitor for me. Over 5000-1 contrast ratio is sweet!

[kernelhaxor]

I have a Dell 24" entry level monitor .. wish to get another 24" to make it a dual 24"s
