19" or 20"?

[Everfalling]

I've been loking around for a nice cheap screen for a while, and i've really been leaning towards 20", but i'm wondering, is there that much of a differnce between 20" and 19"? i mean, money isn't really a problem, i can shop around enough, i'm just wondreing if there's much of a differnce in experience with 20" over 19", and if that extra inch is generall worth the money.

If you're talking about CRTs, the difference between 19" and 20" is unlikely to be a big deal.

If you're talking about LCDs though, most (if not all) 19" displays available have a native resolution of 1280x1024 while 20" LCDs have a native resolution of 1600x1200. That makes a big difference as far as screen real estate is concerned.
