Just to point out, I have a 17" monitor with a 1920x1200 default resolution.

It really comes down to what type of display you buy, and while larger monitors do usually have higher resolutions that is not always the case. Most 24" LCDs I see come with a sexy 1920x1200 resolution, but anything under 24" is all over the place with 1440x990 and stuff. Also wide screen is the way to go. I do have a Viewsonic CRT chilling downstairs though, 1600x1200 baby. That thing kicks ass minus being a tad bit dark (very bright and clear colors though). I thought about opening it up and doing some resistor surgery but I don't feel totally confident operating with such a high voltage piece of equipment.
