Bobby - One thing I remember reading is that while a high-gloss monitor has
a very attractive look, it will also do a lot of reflecting of what's behind
you.

I haven't used a wide screen monitor but am running dual 19" on both
my work and home systems now. CRT's at work and LCD's at home. I would
have a real hard time going back to a single monitor now wide screen
or otherwise.

All these choices look good to me.
