What size of monitor do you use?

Nobody seems to have mention the screen resolution. Since almost all decent-sized monitors are so-called HD widescreen, 1920x1080, all you are getting with monitors larger than about 22" diagonal is bigger pixels!

I like my BenQ G2222HDL, but it's (gasp!) nearly 18 months old...l

aah! gone are the day's of picking up a good 2400x1800 monitor!

The one bad thing about the current HD fad is that LCD makers have stopped at 1920x1080p they are NOT making any bigger screens!

You have to go back to salvaging old CRT screens for better resolutions these days!!

Technology has moved backwards in recent years!

Late 2007(this is the HC version) and what are you, some kind of cheapskate?

Another here if you are on a budget.

You could always sellotape two screens together! But I agree - it's weird when marketing pushes technology backwards... Who would have believed it in the 1980s if we said that hi-quality digital music on a physical medium with artwork would be replaced with low-quality MP3 files that needed you to pay extra for disk space in which to store them, yet cost about the same as music on CD...!?

Then again, the image is very clear and sharp on my LED/LCD monitor - I remember CRTs getting quite fuzzy in their old age...

27" LG HD, with a secondary 19" Dell. I don't have a TV and use the primary for films/iPlayer etc.

well going from laserdisk to Blu-Ray was a step backwards in quality
Laserdisks used uncompressed frames taken directly from film masters (which are technically better resolution than Blu-ray)
Blu-ray uses highly compressed images which means you loose out in definition (Though the algorithms used can clean up some of the missing info it's still a step backwards)

When we can go back to storing and viewing high quality uncompressed video then it will be a step forward. ^_~ lol

20 inch its quite big

17" Here, but size is n't important, it's what you do with it that counts
