I have a 22" widescreen and a 19" widescreen for my desktop PC's.  I'm very tempted to replace the 19" with another 22", but I'm still a bit undecided.  I would like the bigger screen, just not sure if it's worth the investment right now.

What size monitors do you have on your desktop, and do you plan to upgrade anytime soon?

Dell 24" widescreen.

Work desktop: 2- 22" wide monitors (1680x1050 each)

Home desktop: 1- 19" standard (1280x1024)

Laptop: 17" display (1440x900)

Just a 14.1 ins HP2799ea laptop with 1280x800 but I intend to get 17ins 1920x1200 lappy in the US at Christmas while the Euro has buying power. Existing lappy will become desktop when I get another monitor as it is 2.5ghz with 4 gb RAM.

I had a better laptop but its graphics crashed 3 times nVidia 8600 substrate problem so it was money back. Only now are the newer graphics chips probably fine to buy the 9200, 9400, 9600, 9800 - for laptops that is.

My work computer is 4 inch square screen 640x320 a military spec DAP capable of surviving extreme cold and hot, water to 1000 feet and high impacts  worth over $4000 3 years ago with software.

I use a 21" IBM CRT monitor with a sony tube.

I've been using a 52" DLP TV for the past 3 years. Resolution is 1280x768. Viewing distance is roughly 8 feet - from a nice comfortable La-Z-Boy. Control is a Logitech diiNovo Edge keyboard and MX Air mouse that replaced my original Gyration keyboard and mouse earlier this year. The system works well as a media center (I use SageTV), general home computing and casual gaming. The air mouse is great for games like GalCivII and SoaSE but lacks the precision you would want for most real-time games. A second large screen is on my wish list - I use dual monitor at work - but probably not in the budget for another year or two. Hopefully by then, GalCivIII and/or SoaSE II will be out with full multi-monitor support (hint, hint)!

dell 2405FPW (24" 1920x1200). about to add either two more and put them in portrait (for 3600x1920) or two 2005FPW's (20.1" 1600x1200) on to the sides. the 20.1" monitors are a lot more affordable, but i'd ideally prefer the monitors of the same model, so that the colors and luminosity match. i will game on all three using SoftTH.

I just got a 24" widescreen Sceptre X24WG-1080P from Newegg for ~$300 delivered. It hooks to my docking station for my laptop, which has a 17" widescreen. GalCIV II looks great at 1920x1200.

22" Samsung widescreen at 1680x1050 graphics at very high. I get an occasional choppiness but haven't played a big game yet. Just bought this game and am still learning.

And screenis envy strikes again!!

Haha, time for me to upgrade.  I guess I'm the only poor sucker still using a CRT, eh?

Yeah, I'm using a 19", standard 5:4 ratio Dell CRT from back when they still made off-white monitors.  It's running a whopping 1280 x 1024 resolution at the moment.

I have two 22" Dell Widescreen Monitors both at 1680x1050 resolution.

42 inch Toshiba LCD tv at 1360x768.  I hooked it up in my living room, and needless to say I have not ever gone back to using my 19" LCD.  I really should sell it...

It makes me wonder if in 5 yrs you'll even buy a "computer" monitor.
