24" Ultra Sharp LCD Question
I started this thread with my question regarding my video card being able to run the 24" Ultra Sharp monitor with my 4700 Dimension 1 GB ram & Pent 4. I know I was going to buy it many months ago but some major money issues came up and now I'm able to purchase it. I have spoken to several people at work and they insist I have to upgrade my X300E 128MB card even though I'm only going to use it for Excel & Word with a little Photoshop Elements 5.0. Also does anyone know the space on each screen I will be able to work with on the 24" monitor, is it 2 17'' size windows? Thank you all for you comments or ideas. wslandry6

The 24" is 1920x1200. The 17" is 1280x1024. So the 24" is 50% wider (in pixels) and 17% higher (in pixels) than the 17".
The area (in pixels squared) for the 24" is 76% larger than the 17". So it is not "twice" the display area of the 17".
The 24" should seem very spacious. I got a 20" widescreen and use it with a 17" (dual monitors) and it is very nice.
Two 17" monitors would be much cheaper than a 24" and provide more pixels, but you have the obvious gap in the middle.
