What size monitor are you using for X?

Just curious. I just bought a Compaq P900 19" Trinitron FD display. I absolutely love it. I'm curious as to what everyone else has.

Cool I voted 15" but...

...that is because I own a TiBook G4/1GHz where its exact size 15.2"... However, it has 1280x854 resolution which is somewhat like a 17" monitor...

After all said and done, I would love to have a 20" Apple Display

I had a 19" that imploded and burned down (to high frequence) and then I had my bestfriends first monitor, an 14". That was so crap, but didn't have money to buy a new monitor so it worked. Now I have my parents 17". That works even better

FYI: If you live in Canada, or near the border, you might want to consider getting a monitor from Hi-Tech computers. (www.canadamonitors.com). I have had many excellent experiences with them. I am not sure if there is an American equivalent, but I love these guys! Can't been $250 CDN for a 19" Trintron FD! (I get a slight discount, the reg price is $275)

I use the 12" built in display of my PB!
Running at 1024x768.

However, I do have a very old Apple Multiscan 17" monitor which I very rarely use for gaming ...

(Could some moderator with tto much time on his hands add the laptop screen sizes? Thank you!)

I use 15" 1024/768. I'd like 17" for design (whole spread!), but 15" is great most of the time.

I could not imagine using anything less than a 17" for X. I tried using a 15" (800x600) and I went batty. Currently my 19" is set to 1600x1200 and I love it! =)
