22" on sale not bad. Ive got a 30" Cinema Display that I did not pay for at work to have fun on.  idiot2

tho. I would probably never go higher then 24" at home.

There is no way you use every icon on there. You have 2 firefox icons, do you really need 2 of them?  police

Look at the Resolution. Its a POS Display. That would be a really bad computer monitor because of that.

There is also a really good saying about NEC. they are "Not Even Close" because there stuff is so bad.

On my laptop, but I don't know why the dragon and flames perched atop the start menu didn't show up. Maybe because they move?

well in that case it still doesn't matter, Anything in that size your still going to get that real low resolution. So again it still doesn't make a good computer monitor.  evil6

22" is a real good size for a monitor. I wish alot more people would start getting bigger monitors, so I can stop coding websites for 1024x768. Its a pain in the ass to make anything fit right on the real low resolution.

for me 24" is the sweet spot. I really need the extra resolution that a 24" gives over a 22" the 30" is just too big for home use, so I only use it for 3D max basically.

i was going to get a Samsung 24 inch monitor. but some unexpected financial things ....yeh..so i got my 22 inch.  but yeh. i had my 17 inch set to 1152x864 or whatever that resolution is. i liked it. but then i changed to 1280x1024...which is nice. but i still prefer the 22 inch widescreen...or a 24 inch...those are the best for home use..  grin
