Hey guys, i have a question.

Currently, i have two 15 inch lcds running at standard native resolution of 1024x768. I intend on getting an additional LCD, larger, but do not know which size is best for me. by 'best' i mean which has the closest ratio to my current 15 inch lcds. When i move windows over, i don't want the visual size of the window to change if possible, or to only minorly change. i am looking in the size range of 17-19 inch, and was wondering if the 17 would squeeze, or the 19 stretch, etc. what would best fit my needs/wants?

TIA,

-Mel

Most 17-19 LCDs have a native resolution of 1280x1024 so i don't think you have much choice about trying to keep the same aspect ratio of 1024x768....it might look a bit distorted then... or you could just run it at 1024x768 and have all things blurry depending on the LCD. :D

That is not what i meant. Sorry for the late reply, i have been busy.

I know that from the 17-19 they are all 1280x1024. Therefore the actual visual size of the images are different, and on the 17, the images appear to be smaller than on teh 19. So i am wondering which one has approximately the same visual size as the 15 inch i currently have. Does this clarify it a bit?
