Monitor size??

Guys,

Im after a new Widescreen monitor. Im using a 17" 4:3 atm so would like the equal or slightly larger widescreen. Ive been looking at 19", would that be around the same size??

Cheers
Nick

similar in terms of height...sure there's a link somewhere to a page with boxes drawn demonstrating screen size variation, someone will hopefully be along to post it as i cant remember it!

That would be handy. The 17's do look too small but its hard to tell looking at a picture!!

20.1" widescreen is bang on for height match, ideal for a dual screen setup.

This works too:

neat pic, is that done by physical size or resolution? I assume its physical size, if so do you have one by resolution?

Nah sorry, stumbled upon it on another gaming community.

There's a display resolution one here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Video_Standards.svg (Make sure you click the small picture for the real-size version)
