I agree with Larry. Though I snipped the most of his post.
I'd never go back to a CRT when it isn't necessary. And the bigger is
most times always better, except in my case where it would block by
view of the TV. I would love two monitors that could work together so
when I ran Photoshop I could have toolbars on one and the image on
another. But I don't do that frequently enough anymore to care. Plus
my little iBook monitors and flat screens on the iMac have lasted
longer then some of my CRTs.
I didn't really read this thread, so sorry if my comments are way off
base.

my
days in academia, I programmed on a VT100 terminal with Emacs and then
later on a dual-floppy drive PC with a 13" Monochrome monitor and
edlin
(at times). The 13" monochrome monitor suited my needs just fine but
that's also because nothing else was available. Given that I'm
running
XP and have multiple windows up, I'll stick with a bigger monitor.
Perhaps if you're so productive with a non-large screen, you wouldn't
mind switching back to a 13" monochrome monitor since as you've
stated,
a bigger monitor doesn't make someone more productive.
