Thinking about a larger monitor and was wondering what size monitor you all are working on.

The wife runs dual 23" samsungs... I have a 24".

I just don't like that the resolution is topping out... so more inches don't mean more pixels. :(

Dual IPS 30 inch here.  Shelly and Erik use Dual IPS 27's.  They are higher res 2560x1600 and 2560x1440.  HP makes them.  ZR Series.  REALLY nice if you do a lot of design work.  Screen rel-estate is awesome with the higher pixel count! 

Over kill though if you are just doing invoicing and web stuff I would say.

...I am using a 32" lcd TV from Best Buy, it has a VGA input and works fine for me. It was like $220. I notice none of you do this, and now I am concerned a bit. Is there a reason NOT to use a TV? It seemed like, in terms of bang-for-buck, the best solution... ???

Poor resolution for such a large display.  But works just fine.  I used a 40 inch tv as a monitor for awhile it worked fine other than wearing it out faster than I think it would have normally wore out.

I hooked up the old flat screen tv, 55", to my computer as a joke a few weeks ago to see if could get some laughs.  I used it all morning and it was ridiculously awesome.  I use that old tv for the class presentation but the color on it is terrible since its so old.  Our artist has twin 20-something's but I don't really pay attention to that stuff.  My monitor gets used to read forums and run shopworks so I don't even know the size of it.

I was a designer for years and never had anything bigger than a 20 inch. Not even wide screen. I still just have a 20 inch. I guess you can say everything else gets the money.
