Best LCD monitors (21 and 22 inch)
If you can afford or justify the cost of getting something more than your basic 19-inch LCD, a 21-inch or a 22-inch display will give you more room to operate. More screen real estate means less clicking between open windows and less scrolling, minimizing, and resizing, which can only improve productivity. Make the case to your facilities manager that your job demands a 21- or 22-inch wide-screen LCD.
