Which one? :) At work three 19" panels and the 1920x1200 display on my laptop.

At home 3 19" panels and a 24" with a pair of 17" panels in reserve if the others fail (I should see if I can donate them to charity or something...
 
19" xwga generic lcd
21" uber nice CRT eizo
17" generic CRT

And a few more spare monitors in case i ever need one ...
I remember every one around me having an 11 or 12" monochrome monitors while i was running nicely on a phillips full color monitor with mono sound build in! ... wich was to be replaced a few years later with a philips artist line 14" monitor with stereo sound imput a tv reciever (not build in but still cool) and a switch for switching from and to my MSX or Amiga.
Now that sht Rawcked in its day.

PS: if i ever find the artist line monitor in a somewhate good condition i will buy it for sure 😀
 
24" crappy(But still 1920x1200) Gateway off-monitor for watching videos/gigantic spreadsheets when I'm working on my 21.6" (1650x1080) awesome Dell main screen.
 
19" ViewSonic for the all purpose PC and 32" AOC 720p HDTV for gaming/movie rig. I know 720p is pretty low resolution, but at the time the price was unbeatable. Anti-aliasing is my friend!
 
24" 16:10 and 19" 4:3 at work, 22" 16:10 at home, all LCD's, and another 21" CRT for photo/video work at home.
 
24" (1900x1200) LCD at home, 22" HP L2208w (1680x1050) and 20" LP2065 (1600x1200).

Pretty much the standard three years ago was 17/19" LCD for work, then 19"/20" only two years ago, then 22" last year. No monitors purchase dhtis year, but I am looking at 22"/24" if it comes to it.
 
You can acquire a 22" 1680x1050 LCD display for about $150 to $200. Why would anyone have something smaller? My next LCD display will probably be a 27" 1920x1200 unit. Prices are around $350 to $400 and I'm waiting for the prices to get down to about $250 to $300.
 
24" primary lcd, 22" secondary lcd, 23" lcd on secondary computer 15" lcd on small computer, 17" on imac, 2 15.4" laptops and a 46" 120hz samsung lcd for my ps3, and a 17" crt on standby.
 
40" 1920x1080 LCD driven with HDMI (it is nominally TV but used exclusively for monitor).
With my MB integrated video and 2.1 GHz AMD I have to use 1776x1000 resolution otherwise video disappears for a second or two couple times a minute.
With that screen I no longer have to use zoom in Firefox to actually be able to read.
In case you wondering I sit about 3 feet from the screen so yes, my neck gets some exercise.
 
19" HP 4:3 aspect ratio. It's getting harder and harder to find high quality 4:3 displays these days, which I think is sad. Certainly, I'd probably have to give in and get a wide screen display the moment I went beyond 19". I don't know why anyone would want to sacrifice vertical resolution for horizontal, but maybe I'm just stubborn in my ways. I suppose I _can_ think of scenarios that it would be beneficial, but for me 4:3 is by far the more versatile option.
 
default 2560x2000 virtual on 1920x1200@24-inch physical; 3200x2560 virtual when I need it.
