I'm still trying to keep the total price low though, so I'm sticking with 500GB. Besides, no matter how much space is available, wouldn't we all find a way to fill all that up? :) <strong>Ingoal:</strong> Yep, I've made sure actually test the monitor in real life. A friend of mine recently bought it, and he has nothing but praises. Jminkler: True. I’m still trying to keep the total price low though, so I’m sticking with 500GB.

…as for the HP model you mentioned…I would have a look at that in real-life as it could def be a bad choice (depending on your surroundings) as it’s a glare-type (”glossy”) display… ;-)

Also, 500GB doesn't seem like very much in this day and age, depending on what you are doing.

I've managed to find a sweet HP W2207h <a href="http://www.consumerdepot.com/products.asp?id=GM757AAD&referer=google" rel="nofollow">for only $250</a>. How much would your recommended 24-incher cost on average? :) Good point, but how much would that set you back? I’ve managed to find a sweet HP W2207h for only $250.

The resolution (1920x1200) is waaaaay better compated to the 22" (1680x1050) and with the gfx-card you're looking at playing in full hd will be no problem either, so why not get the corresponding device ;-) I would seriously consider getting a 24″ monitor instead of a 22″ one.
