Just curious as to what the most popular size desktop monitor here is.
You may vote for more than one if you have multiple displays.

I have a 30" Apple Cinema Display and a 24" LG 246W. I've actually moved both my primary computers - a Mac Pro and an HP-Compaq laptop w/ docking station I need for work - on to the 24" since it has two inputs. Alas, the 30" only has one input and I've only got space for one monitor at present.

After using the 30" for so long, the "small" 24" display makes me feel a bit cramped. Kinda funny, since just a couple years ago a 24" would have been enormous.

19" Samsung 971p, with a bad proprietary power adapter that has caused me major problems. Beautiful display though.

Two low-end 17" Samsung 710n LCDs (SXGA)...not a fan of them, but one was free, so I can't complain.

20" Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW (WSXGA+) at work, which I love. I wish I had two.

Two 4:3 displays > One widescreen display, though, especially if they're both high-res (SGXA+ or higher). My old Dell D600 had the SXGA+ upgrade...I miss it.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.
