Huge?
No, that's a minimum. Normal for meis 1600x1200. Unfortunately it will be a while before
flat panels this size are cheap enough.
Until then I'll keep my CRTs and only use my flat panels
for simple stuff.

lol, np deathstar, i didnt get offended i just read fast...
i believe the money and the loss on fps are worth the money since my eyes dont have any strain anymore, its like looking at a book the whole time.
Tecumseh, if you live in a world where 640x480 is still used, 800x600 is standard and only a few of us have the priviledge to use 1024x768 as a desktop resolution without eyestrain... 1280x1024 is like a 6 stars hotel... desktop is big enough for me

~.26
17"=~374mm
Monitor has a 5:4 ratio. Using basic arithmetic:
W=~338mm
H= ~270mm
Now, the native resolution of each dimension.
W=1280
H=1024
Because of the nature of LCDs, the native resolution is the actual number of pixels. Precise and exact.
To find pixel pitch, divide the dimension by resolution.
W pixel pitch=338/1280
H pixel pitch=270/1024
Using that formula you could figure out either the screen or pixel pitch given the resolution. Usually Desktop LCDs of the same size all have the same pixel pitch. It's very rare to find one finer due to cost competitiveness to CRTs.
In addition, LCD and CRT pixel pitches are not comparable. First off, CRT pitches are not square. They're not quite as clear either. LCD pitches, even though they're "bigger" will always look betterdue to their nature.

That is pretty nice, I'm starting to get used to all the LCDs I use at work, I'm in a training class right now that I have to sit at one for 10 hours a day, and it doesn't really strain my eyes too bad..
Was looking at the LCDs that Dell has to offer, unfortunately my Dell employee discount only goes for complete systems :/

I got my 174s about a week ago and I can't imagine how I survived without it for so long. Hooking it up with my old 19" MAG in a dual monitor config. really shows the differences. It is SO much clearer, the colors are so much richer, and the strain on my eyes is GONE. I've been typing a paper for my senior pre-law seminar all day and my eyes don't hurt. with the MAG I would have a nasty headache.
Some may say that it is too much money for a 17", but I did several comparisons before purchasing the Hitachi, and the differences were obvious enough to me to be worth the extra $. I could of had a Dell 1800fp for considerably less, but the response time really is night and day.
Now I just need to save for a second one

you are right if it was the same size as a 17" crt, but the format of lcds is bigger so this 17" lcd is almost as big as a 19" crt... pretty big and taking care of my eyes is well worth the money
