Is there a site that shows you LCD monitor sizes in a side by side comparison?

Looking to see what the diff is btw 17, 19, 20" etc.
Thanks!

Don't you have a store somewhere near you? CompUSA carries a wide variety of monitors (not always the highest quality, but at least the full range of sizes, from 15" to 20", and usually they have the Apple 30" Cinema displays, too).

A 17" LCD is between a 17" and 19" CRT in viewable area. A 19" LCD has about the same viewable area as a 20" CRT. A 20/21" LCD has about the same viewable area as a 21-22" CRT.

IMO 17 is pretty small. 19 isn't bad 20 is better and ussually run at 1600x1200 which is a MUCH better res than 1280x1024 IMO.

Dell has that... It has small pictures of their monitors and lists the dimensions.
