Im currently running 1 19inch and 21.5 inch monitors. I have a budget to spend so best monitor for there money is the best option. £350 max.

Im looking at these.
BenQ G2222HDL 21.5" Widescreen LED Monitor
BenQ G2420HDBL 24" Widescreen LED Monitor
but i want to know if 24inch is to big or 21.5 inch is to small.
Im a gamer and would like eye infinity. Im also needing a bigger monitor for CAD work for personal and college work. 19inch isnt really appropriate for that. People say bigger is better but i was looking at a 32inch monitor in a shop and that was WAY to big. I didnt see any 24inch or 22 inch so i couldnt really compare.

If anyone has any pics of aa 24inch and a 22/21.5 inch beside each other it would help a lot :(

Here you go.

Time to move to 24" my friend. From what you've said its clearly your solution.
I imagine an eyefinity setup would cost a bit but that all depends on what panels you go for.

What's your budget?
 
Budget is £350. I dont want 1 monitor, tabbing back and forth to read my work gets annoying. I already have the graphics card for eye infinity, ill be crossfireing soon.
Is that the difference between 24 and 21.5? thats nothing D: ill just go to the 24. thanks for the pic!
 
24" is better then 21.5"

I just moved from a 22" Samsung at 1680x1050 to a 24" Dell at 1920 x 1200, and what a difference the extra resoloution makes in both games and general usage.
24" is not a lot bigger physically than the 22" was.
 
You could look at getting two of these to start with and grab a third a little later down the line?

thats the monitor i put in the 2nd link :P i was condsidering just 2 of them or 2 of the 21.5 inch. I just wanted to know if the 24inch was to big for my usage or to small.
