    DELL 30" Ultra Sharp

    Those numbers don't look quite right. 20" VIS: 12" x 16" = 192 sq. in. 24" VIS: 12.72" x 20.35" (est.) = 259 sq. in. 259 / 192 = 1.348. So, the 24" has about 35% bigger screen area than the 20", not 2x.

    POLL: How much time do you spend on ET per day?

    Pekelo, how about doing an actual poll, with time intervals listed? Even though I'd be the first to admit that most online polls (i.e., self-selected samples) have limited value.
