I wish I had bought one at work. I use 1600x1200@76Hz on a ViewSonic PT775
17 inch monitor with a Matrox Millenium video card.
I can put an Emacs frame and an rxvt window side-by-side.
Fonts? I use 9x15 for both rxvt and Emacs, and they are quite readable.
I get 74 lines in my Emacs frames (great for coding or writing text).
Everything is just big enough, but 1600x1200 would be better in a 19 inch
monitor.
Bigger fonts at higher resolution are better than smaller fonts at lower
resolution, even if the higher resolution fonts turn out to be a little
bit smaller physically.
I don't understand people who but 21 inch monitors and run them at
1024x768.
My two cents.
