My primary use is running Eclipse and other development tools, plus the usual web/email/office stuff; i rarely watch movies.My personal laptop has a 17" display with native resolution of 1920 x 1200. My 24" deskop monitor at work has the same pixel dimensions but larger pixels. Both are quite sharp and easy on the eyes - i squeeze a little more effective size out of the larger one by using smaller fonts. At the office, i tried using a second 1200x1024 monitor but found that the amount of head-turning required to use both displays was uncomfortable. Two 17" 1920 x 1200 displays might be interesting, but a single large display + gnome's multiple desktops feels more ergonomic than any other setup i've tried. --
