1080p 22" Monitors?

[Darkrage]

Anyone have one and know how they compare to a 20-22" @1680x 1050 LCD? Would the smaller screen size affect the high resolution (like smaller text etc). I was looking into upgrading to a 24" for the higher res, but budget is tight atm.

Would something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16824236051 be a good alternative?

Yes, your fonts will be smaller, but you can adust that. That's a sweet deal.

That monitor has a 0.248mm pixel pitch, which is the smallest I've seen (not that I've looked at *tons* of monitors, but I've been "window" shopping for a few months and have read up on _dozens_ of monitors). Unless you sit really close to your monitor things are going to be pretty small on this thing...

I wouldn't upgrade for the sake of 2".

IMO you should go straight to a 42" HDTV. Just wait and save up a bit. Then you'll have 2 displays as well. Maybe I should take a photo of my setup. I have a 24" LCD mounted on the side wall of my living room at the end of the couch. Then I have my HDTV about 12' in front of the couch on an adjacent wall. It's awesome. My wife can watch TV while I work on the computer, or vice versa.

I have both displays wired to my PC via some fairly long cables.
