I've decided to make the jump to an lcd monitors, im going from 2 19" Philips crt to 1 monitor, then going to purchase a mbp down the road and connect that to a second monitor. Alot of you people on here have convinced me to actually take a look at the dell monitors.

Is the extra inch and widescreen actually worth the $100 compared to the 19". The 19" does come with 5 usb ports which seems nice. I've never used a widescreen monitor before. I do watch alot of movies on my computer, do video/photography work on here also. On the pictures on dell's site, the 20" seems alot bigger than the 19". I was thinking the 20" would be a good idea because i am going from dual 19" to 1 monitor. Any suggestions? I know someone on here can give me a reason to spend the extra $100 to get the 20"
 
Definitely the 20". Widescreen is the future (and the present, actually).

The 20" has 35% more pixels than the 19"...it's no contest.
