Thanks for that perspective Stu. I have had a similar feeling on a 24" but I had not articulated it yet. Figured that I would get over it with more time on the a larger monitor good to know I'm not alone.

I have access to a 24" Dell so I will plug it in and see what it is like.

I am a bit confused by what Remus said reguarding a 22" wide screen vs a regular 22" screen. I'm not sure that I have come across a non wide screen model yet.

Could someone point me towards a model?

BTW thanks for the picture Jim. It lends a sense of perspective to how a 11X17 drawing would show up on a 24" monitor.

Can anyone else offer a picture of a 11X17 drawing on a 22"
monitor wide screen or regular?

Chango your comment about seeing on the screen what will be printed is the reason I'm poking at this 22" screen thing.

The 24" does a great job of handling the 11X17 size, it just seems to be a bit more than my needs require at this time.

I'll go and try it out first though.

Thanks for the replies.

Chango: In the last year I have shifted to A3 paper as my interests tend to lie in smaller spaces (guest cottages, studios, boat interiors) and residential renovations(kitchens and small additions). Not to mention that my printer only does up to A3 and copies are much less expensive at this size.

Could you say a bit more about the size of a 24" over 22" screen. I was under the impression that A3 would fit completely on a 22" monitor screen.

cheers Greg

Hello to all;

I recently received a new 17" laptop as a B-day gift. I would like to add an additional monitor. Is a 22" monitor a reasonable size to get? What are the pros and cons to this size of monitor over say a 24"?

Cheers Greg
