I ran 1600x1200 on my old 17" monitor before it died.
The 19" is an Envision LCD model with a flat screen. (Full size CRT - not flat
panel.) I'm driving it at the moment with an old Matrox 2D card, which is adequate for what I do. I bought it about 5 years ago at my local CompUSA when my old 17" monitor was dying. They had it on sale for $250. (Of course, a week after I bought it, I saw another computer shop with a 21" monitor for the same price...) I've been quite happy. It performs flawlessly.
And yes, I like a lot of screen real estate. If I had the room I'd put in a dual head card and run
two monitors.
