Looks like more widescreen Monitors are coming forward, also seems to be the majority of 19" ones. Must be a comfortable size as i have one now, Also just setup a computer with a 17" screen thats really nice as well, not much difference to the size really that i notice i think if i went for the 24" then i would have noticed. My gaming rig uses a 17" ASUS one and thats really comfortable and easy on the eyes, have to say it looks funny on games if you set the wrong resoloution because i had mine set to 1024 x 768 on counter strike and men where larger than normal hehe, Anyway if your looking into a new monitor i would recommend a LCD 19" widescreen they are hard to beat! good for gaming and great for films! as for my resolution its on 1400x900
