I'm not sure what you mean about not wanting anything to get smaller (the aspect ratio of a larger monitor means that icons might be a few pixels out) but if you're after 1920x1080 then you'll want a good 26in monitor.
Some cheaper ones will only go to 1680x1050.
I use a 22in Asus though and i can't fault it.
you know Vista has a feature that zooms in on icons if you want, right?
i make my icons as small as possible, so my 22" looks more roomy
you can make an icon as big as 10cm x 10cm. so just get whatever size your want, as icon size is able to be changed.
Simple answer, get as big a monitor as you can afford/fit. you'll never regret having more real-estate
Yeah but as above, the zoom in/out features, etc. don't quite cut it for me.
I'll file this under the same place as JamesXP's response that also in no way answered the question.
I'm going to quit while I'm ahead and thank you LufbraDan23 for your help.

I have the answer but first I would like to know a little bit about you. Honestly I believe that if you are interested in this problem you should easily be able to solve it yourself if you are at least a highschool student. If you are not yet a high school student I will tell you the answer. If you are out of hs I will teach you how in PM.
edit 26 in will not be the size that you are looking for
well...
i don't really see your logic here. but you're saying that, you want size screen but have everything look as big as they are now?
Rich, He wants someone to calculate for him the size screen that he would need to have the icon appear to be the same size at the increased resolution. IE on a 17 inch monitor, at 1024x768 the icon is 1/2"x1/2".
How big would my monitor need to be for my icon to remain at 1/2"x1/2" if I increase the pixel resolution to 1920x1080.
He wants someone to calculate for him the measurements in pixel height and width of his current icons, then determine how large the new monitor must be for the same pixel map to be the same physical size, when displayed at a different resolution.
