What size monitors do you use for gaming?

I recently switched to an Acer 20" LCD from a 17" Samsung SyncMaster. I'm playing FEAR on it and it looks just awesome! Just wondering what size monitor other gamers are using?

Mine is this one:

Acer P203W
 
17" laptop screen... installed Bioshock on my new Q6600/9600GT rig with a 22" LCD, but haven't actually fired it up yet.

52" Sharp LCDTV for TV, Bluray and sometimes gaming

Wao! Gaming on a 52" screen, doesn't it hurt your eyes a bit?
 
20" Acer Al2051W (probably similar to yours). It's an S-PVA (I believe) panel, something I absolutely had to have over TN, and I like the size - 1680x1050 in this form looks great.

Someday I'll move up, but I don't think my PC right now is up to it :x.

I have the same monitor as you. 20'' is the way to go for 1680x1050. If not a 20'', I'd go for a more expensive 24''. In a few years when I have my own place (and money), I see myself setting up a huge TV with a couch 10+ feet away and then "gaming". 😀
 
Dual 17" Samsung 731B's at 1280x1024 each for my campus setup. My home setup only has a single 19" Samsung 931B though.
 
22" widescreen LCD monitor for PC, running dual with a 19" LCD, but most games are just 1 monitor.

For consoles and TV, got a 56" DLP.

I should have clarified, sometimes I use my TV for PS3 gaming..
 
I use a 19" CRT (Mag 900V). Best monitor I have ever used. Not sure what I will replace it with when I get my new computer and move my Mag to the basement with the old one.
 
Westinghouse LTV-19W3 - 19", 1440x900. Image quality isn't exactly mind-blowing, but it works. Good resolution for games.
