I find that between my 17" sony at work (very sharp), a crappy 15"
Princeton at home, and a 16" sun at home, I find myself lugging my
thinkpad to and fro as my "preffered monitor".
Is it just me, or is the LCD screen easiest to look at for long stretches?
Waiting for flat panel prices to drop,
Charles
