Default anyone got a 20" widescreen pc moniter?

I might be tempted to get this nice 20" widescreen samsung lcd this weekend as my 17" is getting abit too small now, but just wanted to see pics of a 20" widescreen on a desk or something so i could get a feel of the size

i've got a 19 inch one

nearly as wide ans a standard keyboard and double the hieght, if that makes sense

to see what i mean, just put 2 keyboards on top of each other to see how nig it'll be, it's going to be a tad bigger

would have taken a pic but forgotten the fooking camera at work

again

Ive got the Dell 24" too. 20" looks tiny in comparison. If you are into gaming make shure you can afford a great video card too as the high resolution is quite demanding.

anything above sort of 20" is really nice.

ALso, it may be worthwhile noting what graphics card you are going to use. If you are a gamer and have a 8800GTX, you need a 24" to get the best out of it. Any less and theres no point. But for the normal/moderate gamer running mid-hi level cards e.g. 8800GTS, 7600GT 7950GT X1950 etc etc then 19" and over
