Bobby, About 6 months ago I bought 2 Viewsonic 20" FP monitors to use side by side. These are normal aspect 4:3 and have a resolution of 1600 X 1200. It's a dramatic improvement over the 22" widescreen monitor I was using. I did a lot of research before I selected these - they were about $430 each, and are about mid-range quality. Look for some sites that do comparisons - it's worth the time.
