But there's just no way of going back to smaller screens once you get used to the big ones. I've been working and playing on 21 inch monitors since the mid nineties and on a 20 from 85 to 95 at 1280 to 1600. I would go nuts trying to use a smaller monitor! Ideall I want a 23 or 24 non-wide screen but that must be several K. It's interesting that the Dell would out score the Apple!
