Man...is it that obvious?:)

Truthfully, my 19" failed this past weekend and now I'm faced with the decision to repair or to replace.

Not being one to allow others an advantage, I just wondered how many out there flew a 21" or larger. And to think, I thought peer pressure was something confined to my adolescence:)

Monitor size has less to do with having an advantage and more dependant on your eye sight.

I flew at 1024x768 on a 15" in Aces High from Beta Tour 3 until this past Xmas when I got a 17", my gunnery has remained the same. It's just easier to see smaller details.

IMO of course.

Rude

buy a '21 if you have the money.. i got a hell of a deal on mine. Bought it refubished for $200.

very nice, i would never go back to a smaller one. i cant think of one thing bad about it except for the fact that it is EXTREMELY heavy.. even "buff" keiran who can bench 450lbs would strugle with it..

Rude, it's not the size of the monitor that counts, it's how you plug it in.

21" is the way to go if you can afford it.  I love my Sony GDM-500...

Edited cause the first try sounded baaaaad....

21 now but my old one is 19in. .  

Really not that much differant 21 from 19 . BUT , No go to 17 in and below . That's my take .


21 or 19 take alot of desk space . I got at 30 in wide desk and still set the monitor at the farthest it can set away from me .  I would buy another 19nin NP , and have it alttle closer to my face :)

Now HDTV is the WTG , hehe .

take care

I use a 19" monitor, though I've told my wife it's a 38" monitor.  It is a way to avoid confusion.
