Whats the point of going bigger if you can't have a larger desktop?
A 19" CRT to a 17/19" LCD is more of a sidestep than anything.
It would be a down grade for me, as I run 1600x1200. I'd need a 21" LCD to consider it an upgrade.
Because most 17" LCD's have native 1024x768 resolutions whereas 19" have 1280x1024. I currently use my 19" CRT in 1024x768 because I am far sighted and anything bigger is a little small for me to focus on. If I were to get a 19" LCD i could go up to 1280x1024 since it is an inch larger overall.
