What size monitor supports 2 documents open full size side by side? Can I get away with a 22" or must it be a 24"

Should I be looking at resolution and not physical size? Can I do it with 1680 x 1050 or do I need 1920 x 1200?
 
Thanks MustISO.

I am assuming that if 1920 x 1080 is not an output option available in the windows display properties, than a 24" 1920 x 1080 monitor is not doable - I must stick with a 1920 x 1200 24" if I go with a 24"

Display Properties will not show a resolution that your current monitor can't support. What monitor are you running? Pretty much any card built in the last 8 years will support 1920x1200 or 1920x1080, depending what the monitor supports.

EDIT: And I'd recommend a 1920x1200 for side-by-side docs (that's what I use at home and work). 1680x1050 is doable, but as masteryoda stated above, it's a little on the small side. You also see more vertically on the 1920x1200, if that matters.
 
Does that Office 2007 Ribbon really eat up that much screen? I was testing on Office 2003, and that was showing 100% on 1920x1200 and 87% on 1680x1050.
 
I've got a 23.6" asus monitor 1920x1080 and it'll do 2 document @ 100% also I use a dvi -hdmi adapter and I don't see any problems even with a cheap 3 dollar hdmi cable I got at fry's
