I use a Samsung LNa32550. 32 inch monitor max resolution @ 1920x1080. I have a 22 inch Dell/Samsung one too, but I upgraded when I decided to have the PC as my main living room entertainment. 32 in isn't huge, but I bought it on sale for $650 online and it does its job. I watch and play from about 7 feet away.
I still use a 17 inch crt lol. I've been meaning to get an lcd, newegg has had some really good deals recently. I think it may be time to put the behemoth to rest.
I switch between my laptop 13.3" screen and my Sony Bravia 40" 1080p screen. Two systems, one for the keyboard + mouse, the other for the home entertainment PC enthusiast and gaming with a gamepad (it's not comfortable to play PC games with keyboard and mouse on the couch compared to the desk). If anyone can help me solve my issue with keyboard + mouse gaming on an HDTV, I would greatly appreciate it. A good keyboard + mouse combo, wireless preferably (being 8 feet away from the TV and Media PC), and with good range that doesn't drop.
Personally I prefer black borders over a streched image (If I am understanding you properly...) For some reason I hate seeing a 4:3 game/tv show/movie stretched across a 16:9 or 16:10 screen.
I have a 22" HDMI widesceen monitor that cost me £90 ($150) and a freeview card in my PC, with a remote control. This means I can use my monitor as a computer screen or a TV screen. With the right HDMI cable, I could put a blue ray reader in my PC and watch High Def movies. But what I like most, is that widescreen monitors have better technology, for example, my monitor automaticall adjusts zoom, so whether I am playing a reto game at 640x480 or a modern game at 1280x1024, I get it full screen with no black border!
Two 24" Gateways (FHD2400 and FHD2401), one for desktop, the other as an external display for notebook. My previous monitor was a 19" Sony XBRITE 5:4, I wanted to go with a glossy display over matte again.
