Just curious as to what the most common monitor size is.

Oops! Forgot to include mine. Due to my eye problems, I use a 32" LCD TV as a monitor

I voted 19" as I use a 19" LCD on my main PC and have several 17" laptops. I actually prefer the lappies view over the larger monitor.
But I probably sit to close to any of them at times.

I answered 24in or bigger cause you didn't say if the monitor has to be attached to the computer as is the case with the laptop I have. I run a cable from the laptop to my HD T.V. and use that as a monitor.

One 19" Widescreen Dell (brand spankin' new), I've got a 15" CRT that I keep as a spare for those moments where my montior breaks (or the cat breaks it). Maybe I'll put it on dads 24" HD TV when I move

Currently using a 22" widescreen, but my wife told me if I was a good boy and finished the kitchen and living room renovations I can get my dream screen. I don't think she has a clue what it's going to cost grinner.gif

Main monitor: Dell 2007WFP (This is the sweetest thing I've ever used) 20" widescreen
Second monitor: (usually holding winamp and notes) is some MAG Innovision 17" that I got on black friday a few years ago.

It's really neat because the 20" widescreen is the exact same height as the 17" 4:3.

Sadly, a 17" CRT. I would like, at a minimum, a 20" Flat Panel monitor which is much easier on my eyes and uses less juice as well.

15" Flat-panel monitor. I used to have a 17" flat panel, but there was a defect in it that made it turn on and off at random. I got my current 15" one for free from a woman I babysat for. It actually works properly!!!! smile.gif Someday, I want a bigger, widescreen one, but that will have to wait until after college...way after college. dry.gif

I have a Tech friend that hooks up his business tablet note book to a 30"+ screen at his home after family hours.
He watches some sports or news and cleans up some business items also. He has that picture-in-picture thingie.
I'm not sure how that all works though. I get Koanfused watching such.

17" but plan on moving up to 19" or 22 ".

I started with a 15" LCD, upgraded to a 19", and have now got myself a nice 22" widescreen.
I don't get rid of the old ones though, I just keep adding on.
I also have a 15" laptop.

classic 19' flat tft screen. not sure of the brand now. There is too many things on the wishlist to bother for a bigger screen. Actually quite happy with the size of the screen. Need a new TV in the long run, so might try and hook it up once and a while when I get it and my old CRT monster tv will die / explode laugh.gif.

-edit- I think its this one: http://media.schottenland.de/pi/Fujitsu%20Siemens%20L19-2SD.png
no one
Sounds rather personal........but it's a mostly flat 17" , and I like it just fine at that size smile.gif (although if I had room for it a 20" lcd would be "ok" too)

I got a 21 inch(no 21 inch on the poll so I put 20 as thats whats viewable anyways) crt monitor for 50 bucks I think at goodwill.

I got way tired of the 15 inch crt and wanted something as big as I could get for cheap. It has 1680x? resolution which is almost full 1080p HD resolution.

I got it so big for one I have a MYHD tv tuner card in it and a logitech surround sound system. I want to be able to watch tv in HD and the little monitors only have like 1280 or 1024 resolution which is like almost 720p HD.

By the way the MYHD tuner card is awesome. Full tivo like features and PIP...full HD tuner and it even has a remote and sensor. HD content is Hard Drive hungry at 8.5 gb per hour with commercials and they are for the most part on and off HD quality. I got a 360gb HD but its full....My next HD will be 1000gb or more.

I am mad that the 21 inch monitor does not have full 1920 resolution and I want something bigger for what I do online. I want to get a 26 or 28 inch LCD monitor or tv as the next monitor and it HAS to have 1920 resolution or I wont get it.

I use a laptop mostly and it only has a 15.4 widescreen lcd which I like better than my old 15 inch regular lcd on my old laptop but I plan on getting a 17 inch laptop one day.

I have a 22" LCD. I actually remember going to Wal-Mart once and there was a 54" (I think it was 54) Monitor in the computer section. But then again, I'm not too sure if it was computer or TV.
