A 17-inch LCD monitor is big enough for most people’s everyday computing needs. But for others, 17 inches simply will not do–nor will 19, 20, or 24 inches. Until recently, if you wanted a large screen to use with your computer, you’d have to buy a television that doubled as a monitor. That’s fine for casual use, but a low-resolution TV is far from ideal for reading text, let alone graphic design tasks or professional photo editing.
When the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display was released in June 2004, graphic artists, designers, and others who lusted after a large, high-resolution LCD finally had an option. When Dell released its high-res LCD on the market–the UltraSharp 3007WFP–in January 2006, the heavyweight wide-screen LCD fight was on.

I wish a 30″ lcd could fall out of the air and land gently on my desk

My company owns three 30 incha Apple displays for high definition restoration work and my good how they rock. However for the rest of us average Joe’s you still can’t beat a good 21″ CRT display especially for the incredible value these days- just check ebay.
