17" or 19"

Recommended Posts

Has anyone recently upgraded their equipment from a 17" LCD to a 19" LCD?

 

I am in the market for 4 LCD's, I just don't know which to get.

 

17" to save some money or just do the 19" and get it over with.

 

Has anyone noticed any difference in the extra viewing area?

 

I'll have a total of 6 monitors when I am done.

 

Thanks

I have four 17 inch LCD's but am craving for more space. My next monitor upgrade with be 20" minimum. In my opinion, if you decide to go with the 17's.. you will end up regretting not getting 20's.

I think it depends on how much info will be on each screen. I have six 17" Samsungs now and it's more than enough for me as I don't have a bunch of different settings for each market/monitor.

 

The 19"s will obviously give you more space, but keep in mind that when you multiply that by 6 monitors, the overall space being used by the monitors goes up quite a bit. The monitor stand and monitors that I have now is fairly big and not sure that I would want the overall space to be even bigger.

 

As a side note, I would recommend Samsung monitors. They are great for multi-monitor setups b/c certain models have a very basic and slim 'border' around the actual screen. Some monitors have logos, buttons, etc around the edge of the screen, but some Samsungs just have a slim black outline and it's much easier on the eyes. Something like this - http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitor/LCD_Analog/LS17MJVKBJXAA.asp

I upgraded from a 15" to a 19" and a 20". My 20inch is my iMac and another Samsung 19inch. I notice a difference even going from the 19 to the 20inch screen. I would have a difficult time if I had to use 17's, also because I make music on this computer so I like to have screen real estate for my tracks. All in all...19" would be great :) And yea, samsung monitors pretty much kick the crap out of all other monitors.

20 inch standard is 1600*1200 with decent pixel size

 

20 inch widescreen actually has less resolution (1600*1200>1680*1050) and has greater chance of driver conflicts (some programs have issues with widescreen format, but not any trading progs i am aware of)

 

I have two 20's as well as a laptop and one external 15.

 

I am looking to purchase two more 20's in the next month or two

 

20's are great

no widescreens.

 

sounds to me like no one can go wrong with larger monitors.

 

no, for me, I am content with LG, I've been using these two =witrh no problems.

 

one has over 7000 hours on it, I've been trying to find LCDs with an elasped time counter on the LG L1511S, the L1751s does not come withat feature yet it is a newer model.

 

funny how that works, the older model has the time counter.

Man, I saw the topic for this post and I thought we would be talking about rims!:p

 

In terms of PC: Get the 19-20 inch wide screen.

 

In terms of cool stuff i.e cars: Get 19"+ rims, you get more women that way!

winter and salt, not a good combination for after market wheels.

 

(I know I can change them and have a set of winter tires and wheels) :p

Buy as much screen real estate as you can. Just got 4 22" and they are awesome. Another cool thing to look into is Twin Wan routers. These puppies combine two different high speed connections (i.e. DSL and Cable) for redundancy and fail over and screaming fast combined speeds (sometimes near T1). Great for peace of mind and you can still use your landline and/or cell for backup to your brokers but I doubt you'll ever need it.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
