The main one will be 23" with 1920x1080 resolution. I will use a 19" monitor to park the design tools and for other applications. I have set up my desk in an "L" configuration; one 3' and one 5' desk and a corner insert. I'll put the 23" monitor on the 3' side and the 19" monitor on the corner. It looks like it will work great. I think you are considering getting one huge monitor instead of 2 smaller ones because you won't need to have a dual monitor support card and you won't have to worry about arranging your desk to accomodate 2 monitors. The down side I can think of is that a bigger, higher resolution monitor may cost more money than 2 smaller, higher resolution monitors. Then there is the issue of sitting close to a big monitor without getting some serious neck strain. As for the version 9 upgrade, I am really looking forward to the ability to leave the properties window open. That is a huge improvement and a long time coming. I am also very excited about the change to the operating system that allows the use of the laser light to level the design in the hoop automatically using the laser. Good luck on your decisions.
