I think that 17” computer monitors are the perfect combination of affordability and functionality so I have been using them for several years. This size is large enough to provide a large graphical interface for playing games or movies, but it still falls in a reasonable price range. The price shoots up a lot going from 17” monitors to 19” or larger ones, while the price between smaller monitors is usually not very much.
If you are using the older CRT type technology, then 17” monitors can allow you to save on space. CRT monitors of any size are too big, and you really need a lot of desk space to fit the 19” and beyond level. I think that the extra two inches of monitor size in a 19” monitor just isn’t worth the overall lack of room on my desk and the extra hassle in moving it around.
However, desk space is less of a problem if you have LCD monitors. This is because LCD monitors are extremely space efficient. I’ve also observed that LCD monitor screens tend to look bigger. It may be due to a kind of optical illusion and they aren’t really bigger, but the 17” inches in an LCD seem to go a long way.
17” monitors has the same screen size as any other because the 17” inches is measured across the diagonal surface of the monitor. However, LCD’s seem to use it more effectively. In my opinion 17” LCDs are the way to go because the price on 19” LCDs is still pretty high, and the 17” monitors have become almost in line with their CRT counterparts.
In the last few years, it seems that 17” monitors have become a sort of standard for businesses. It used to be the 15”, but I really don’t see as many 15” inch monitors these days. Everyone seems to be using 17” monitors for their different needs. It’s the right combination of luxury and practicality because it is affordable and yet still fairly big.
You may want to consider an even larger monitor if you have the money to spend, and plenty of desk space. You will really appreciate a bigger monitor if you’re using graphical programs, play computer games, or watch movies on your computer.
