Btw, 24 inches is just about right if you ask me. I've got a 23.4 and it's amazing.

Now the real question is....does your 24 inch monitor do 1080P?!!??!

24" is ideal for me.
20" seems small now

I have a 22'' that does do 1080p. And no, its not big, its just the right size.

I also have my 32'' LCD TV in my room, with another desktop/arcade machine hooked to it.
I'm back!

In honesty though, the biggest thing for me is resolution. I'm fine with a 14" screen as long as its resolution is 1440x900 (or 1400x1050 depending on aspect ratio). I just need usable virtual space, not physical space.
