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?

22" wide I wanna get another 22" but need to upgrade graphics card first.

At home I use a Westinghouse 19" at 1650 x 1050 resolution.

I'm using a 17" CRT with a maximum resolution of 1280x1024.

Also, I prefer to stay away from widescreen monitors (why on earth is THAT becoming the standard?)

And screenis envy strikes again!!

Yeah, especially when I see 24, 30, 40 and 52 inchers.   Right now I'm looking into picking myself up a cheap cinema screen to hook my rig into... not to be outdone.

Why stop there?  I'm sure there's an IMAX going out of business somewhere...

LOL, 10,000x7000 (approximate) resolution? you'd need one hell of a graphics solution. perhaps submerge the whole system in liquid nitrogen.

Acer X223W (1680x1050) LCD + Samsung SyncMaster 750ST (1280x1024) CRT. Second being a 'testing gear' for specific compatibility issues with some art designs & color calibration reference. The LCD (even if that big of a main UI for regular use) is a tricky renderer for precision, catchy flaws (specially in Fonts) and anti-aliasing artifacts when re-scaling in most drawing programs. Plus the usual ghostly cornering variations of the TFT flat panel. Nothing i can't handle... so far.

Absolutely no upgrade necessary as i'm always using both from close_range_desktop_type situations.

I'd use TeeVee only for console thingies if i'd ever urge for some 'gameplay variety' rather than computing stuff, must be cuz i've had to hook oldy stuff like Turbo GraphX-16 & a full-blast enhanced Ti-99/4A!

Since this is my work I have a SAMSUNG 24” and on my LAPTOP HP Pavilion dv9500 a 17in which looks a lot better than my 24” but I can work in the middle of a sunny day outside on the 24”

A 24" DELL 2401WFP. And looking for better one at the same size.
Also a 15.4" laptop which is very bad watching a movie.

Both monitors have problem with motion and black is not real black..

Still wait for the OLED monitors..

22in Dell that I got with my computer. It's a very good screen size.

there are a couple models out, but they're really expensive.

Nah...I figure you could just hook it up to a few dozen fan boat engines with a freon feed and you'll be fine.  You'll generate about 7,500,000 btu of cold air, but the polar ice caps are melting anyway, so you'll be helping the environment...while burning a train load of fuel and freon, that is.
