There is less area in a widescreen then in a non-widescreen.

Do the math.

You can get a pair of 22" for about $400 if you shop the right places... They'll have TN panels, but that's OK for trading.

I have seen them for $160 each.



22" has a resolution of only 1680 X 1050.

I prefer the 24" at 1920 X 1200.

Dell Outlet is a good place. Also, there are lots of deals this time of year and some rebates...

Dell has been having a special on 24" for $267...

Tiger Direct has a current deal on an "unbranded" 24" (but believed to be an HP 2408) for $199AR.
