Thanks much for your reply Don. I have a 22" lcd which is close to your 23" and I have never had the problems you mention. I never swivel my head back and forth, not sure why you have to do this? I assume to see all of the screen, correct? And it is best for your eyes to have the monitor 2 1/2 times the diagonal of the monitor or so I read, that seems to far......You got me thinking maybe 24" would be better, even if I bumped up to 1980x1020 resolution. Now I have another dilemma, my video card is only a NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT. For a 24" you need a good video card to get the best performance, or so I read again...my video card is pretty low end, it will support the resolution AND I do not game but even the tech guy at the maker of this card said if I got a 24" at the higher resolution I would probably want a better card. Thoughts?
