Today I started searching for a 20 or 22 inch monitor. First of all, a 20" monitor is a great step up from my current small 17" monitor. I also looked for 22 inch monitors in store and they looked huge. What is the minimum viewing distance for a 22 inch monitor? I have a about of +-2 feet between my eyes and the desktop screen. Some 22" monitors are little bit to high, because they would not fit into my computer desk(only 17 " clearance). Also what I am trying to figure out is if I should get it from online retailer, or B & M store. Now, online retailers have better selection and cheaper prices. But in case of dead pixels on the monitor or some other problems, it would be so much easier to return to a retail store like BB. What can you suggest?
