I want one.

I think 19-20" would be about right.

In an ideal world I'd get a Dell 2305(?) but I think 23" widescreen would be too big for my desk for everyday use.

What's out there?

We've got a few of the Dell's in the office.

They are 2005WFP (20").

Seem to be very nice

I had the new Dell 24" widescreen on test in the office for a couple of weeks. Also took it home for a weekend. Fantastic quality and resolution @ 1920 x 1200 and also incorporates a 7 in 1 card reader on the left side + 4 x USB. Dell also offered a great price, but I have 2 reservations:

1) The screen gets *very* warm - after a couple of hours, you really notice a glow on your face from the screen. This really put me off and made me too hot and uncomfortable.

2) It is *very* bright - no problem in the office, but in the evening at home is subdued light, it was too bright - playing around with the settings didn't really help.

That said, for £860 inc. VAT & Del. on their website is a very good price.
