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. Dan -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gary Kjos 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.
