I was entertaining the possibilty of getting a new monitor.  My current one is a 17", I was wondering what it would be like to get a nice shiny big one.  

So what should I go for?  I was looking at something along the lines of a 22" widescreen, does that sound sensible?

the current dell range are impressive

multiple inputs, card reader, usb hub

and they look stunning

this is 24" but look at the spec

Why is a standard 22" widescreen cheaper than the ultrasharp 20"?  Other than all the extra features, are the panels the same?  Dont think I could stretch to anything more than the 20" ultrasharp, but Id rather have a bigger one.

The ultrasharps have different (better) screens in them and from what Ive seen are worth the extra money... Dell at some point soon are releasing their ultrasharp monitors without all the extra inputs, card reader, usb etc etc for a cheaper price so may be worth waiting for them.

I have a Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP 24" which Ive had for about 4 months now and I love it, so impressed (use it for PC & 360)

Overclockers do it for slightly cheaper with an extra 1 year on the warrenty (Ã,£550)

:)  Every LCD/TFT monitor I see - even high-end ones - have such a gash picture.  Im really not convinced about em.  :(
