need help deciding... they're both in the same ballpark in regards to price... I currently have a 19"...
either i could sell the 19" and get a 21", or keep the 19" and get a crappy LCD..

how much of a difference is there between 19" and 21"? its only by 2 viewable inches? could it be tha tmuch? I just want to get a LCD because it looks soo pimp, but it serves no practical purpose except to save space.. kind of stupid.. but...

still deciding.. tough decision.

What exaclty do you do with your computer? Do you play games? Why do you want 2 montiers if you get the LCD? Do you think you need 2? If you don't really need 2 then go for the 21" if you have the room :)

I have always said ever since they were made that getting a 15" LCD is pointless and spending the same amount on a 21" monitor would be much better.

If you currently have a 19", that means you will be losing 2 inches of screen space. Why would you want to spend all that money and end up with less?

Since you have a 19" now, space isn't a problem, so get the 21 incher. You will get just as many oohs and aahs with a huge 21" monitor than a flatscreen 15" monitor.

21 inch, but why you'd need so much viewing space is beyond me. You do graphics?

Flat screen if you plan on using it for just normal surfing or business uses (to save space). But for gaming or graphics design.. get the 21" monitor.
