Re: Whooaaa!I love my 19" monitor, lol!!! I've had it for about 4 years now, and anytime I use anything else, it just isn't the same!
 
Re: Whooaaa!ooooo.....lucky you!
 
Re: Whooaaa!I bet having such a huge screen is nice though!!! Once you get used to it of course!!
 
Re: Whooaaa!Congrats Heather! I went from a 17 to a 22 a couple months ago and that is also a HUGE difference! You'll LOVE IT!:D

Wow and I thought 19" was HUGE, I couldn't even IMAGINE a 22"er:eek: That was quite a difference, I would say!!lol

Re: Whooaaa!I am normally on a laptop size (actually it's a "tablet" computer that has a mount so you can either have it up on the mount like a monitor...or take it off and use it free) and when I go downstairs to one of the normal monitors it always takes me by surprise!

DH won't buy anything smaller than a 19" anymore...he's a computer geek and says that's the standard now. Of course HIS monitor is even bigger!
 
Re: Whooaaa!oh im so jealous. we are slowly upgrading the computers in our office and mine is still the older one. and by old i mean just a couple of years. but everyone else has the 19 inchers. i cannot wait until i get my big ol' screen :D

Yeah, our freinds are a techies(gamers) so they have either a 22 or 23"er in their office (HUGE)! I coudn't believe when DH got his new 19", I was blown away at how much bigger it was to my little 15"er! It's gonna take a long time to adjust I think! It's almost blinding, like sitting in front row at a movie lol!:eek:
 
Re: Whooaaa!I have a 21 inch wide screen at home and it really is huge. I have it allllll the way back on my desk so that it's not too close to my eyes. With a proper distance between you and the monitor, a large monitor is quite nice. (Maybe I should use the word comfortable distance instead of proper distance because it's very subjective....)
 
Re: Whooaaa!My dad has a 24" screen then he bought one even bigger than that but I'm not sure of its size. It is almost like looking at my bedroom tv. lol
