2. Does a bigger monitor make the pixels just seem bigger... making the overall quality of the image worse?
3. Where should i buy this monitor from?
4. How does this one look? http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...gon=&langid=EN

1. Widescreen is good for watching HD movies, if you're going to do that. Dual screen is good for multitasking.
2. Since you're likely getting and LCD, generally no. In fact, to get more pixels you have to go for a bigger monitor. I.e. 1920x1200 (perfect for 1080p) = 24" (what I have), 1650 x 1080 = 20"-22". The pixel size stays roughly the same.
3. No clue. I got mine from Futureshop.
4. That one looks good. Mine's a Samsung and I like it. If you want to watch HD videos on it you might want 1920 x 1200, but that would take you into a different price range.
