Wide screen vs 4:3 LCDs...

[rivan]

What physical size (not pixel resolution) wide screen LCD would be about the same height as a 19" 4:3? I realize mounts differ and all, but screen size-wise?

I've got a 19" now, and am considering getting a widescreen for a main monitor, then using the wide as a palette monitor, and want the screen height to be the same/nearly the same.

Dumb question, maybe, but I'm hoping someone's already looked into this.

TIA!

I believe a 24" widescreen would be closest to the vertical height of a 19" LCD. I have a 20" widescreen and 19" LCD currently, and the 19" LCD is about 1.5" taller than the widescreen.
