Yeah, you're right, I forget all the time that LCD has funny aspect ratios.

Well I agree 2 large monitors is better than 1 large monitor. My opinion is that if I had a choice between 2 small monitors (19" or less) and one large monitor, I rather have the larger one.

The ability to have a reference up on one screen while working on the other is very handy with dual monitors.

thanks everyone I went to look for the 20.1" Viewsonic that was recomended in an earlier post and MemoryExpress didn't have any so I went with this one instead.

So you came here wanting to buy a 19 or 20 inch 4X3 LCD and bought a 22" widescreen?

The power of CP never ceases to amaze me.

Not really I went in looking to get the 20" and they didn't have any so I took the 22"

Heh.. well first make sure that your resolution is set correctly (1680 x 1050).

After that, yeah everything does look a bit smaller and it does take a while.. After a few days you should not notice it though.
