Well OK, it had to happen. After asking you guys what type of monitor you use, along comes the Monitor II question. How big is it? And if you don’t know, just measure the screen diagonally.
My current Benq is a 19″ widescreen.

The bigger the better! :woot:
February 14, 2008 at 1:05 pm #167064TigerbladeParticipantat home, 15.4″ widescreen laptop. (that’s the one I entered in the poll)
at work, 17″ LCD. (forgot to include that one until it was too late)I’m contemplating the idea of having my next laptop be one of the small screens – the 12″ or so. Ultra-portable. I love my current laptop, but it’s too damn big to conveniently carry around.
(Just remember, it’s not supposed to be the size of the hat that matters, it’s the magic that pulls the bunny out.)
February 14, 2008 at 4:39 pm #167063DavidParticipant24″ LCD, though it looks smaller every day. I came from 2 17″‘s, and this blows that configuration out of the water.
February 14, 2008 at 7:11 pm #167066princeGParticipant15″ Dell
February 14, 2008 at 9:00 pm #167068PolarBearNPRParticipantHehe – size? Well, there’s a perfect size for everyone. Me . . . I go with two monitors. One is 19″ (Samsung), the other 17″ (NEC). I use the 19″ for WoW and video (Prison Break) and the 17″ for IM, email, and web. Yes – AT THE SAME TIME.

Ah, now I remember-she has her own private IT tech (aka Mr.ES) 😎

*Drum Roll*
And it’s…..
19″!
Philip: Thanks for the instructions, I never would have thought to measure it that way…..
February 15, 2008 at 1:43 am #167071PhilipModeratorNo problem, Nessa. Welcome to the 19″ club…(that is, until I get a 22″ and then it’ll be the 22″ club and then, *runs away*)
February 15, 2008 at 3:02 am #167062detn8rParticipantTo me, anything bigger than 17 is too big. Makes me feel like I’m looking at an IMAX a foot away from my face.
Maybe the next poll will be, which brand monitor are you using? Reppin’ the LG baby!
