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:

17'' Dell ultrasharp from a few years ago. Love it to death 😀 1280x1024 with an 8800GT = max settings with no problems.

The 17" Samsung SyncMaster is actually a very good monitor, have been using it for the last 4 years and been very happy with it. 🙂
 
Currently a 19" CRT LG Flatron, and a 22" LCD in about two months from LG again (I just love their stuff), I think I'll keep my CRT though, just in case the LCD has dead pixels and I need to RMA it. I decided to move to the LCD technology because I'll upgrade my GPU in about two weeks (probably GTX 260 or 285, still not quite sure), and having such a GPU on a CRT and gaming only at 1024x768 or 1280x960 would be a complete waste (except for Crysis that is).
 
Dell 2407

Very happy with it still. Some minor ghosting/bluring when scrolling on the desktop, but most LCDs I've used have had the same problem, so more a technology issue. I run it at 1680x1050 though cause of my gimpy system. Still looks great.

No plans on ever upgrading. That is unless it breaks, then I'll get the 2707 and be done with it.
 
24" SOYO 1920x1200
- my TV is 22" .. i never watch it 😛

- 24" is a little too big for my up-close gaming

i still have my Samsung 19" CRT and a 14x9 LCD ACER for emailing, web browsing, light office, etc. on my 2nd PC; i miss many advantages of the CRT over the LCD but hate its bulkiness

I've got a 17" when I'm just on me lappytop, but when I've got it connected to a monitor, it's at 22". The lappytop has a res of 1920*1200, and the monitor has a 1680*1050 res. It roxorz.
 
Just using an Acer 24inch LCD, it's about 2-3 years old, works decent enough. 1900x1200 looks really nice, though I really should upgrade my video card better and more often then I do ...
