I'm looking at a Samsung 22" SyncMaster 2243wm. What I love is the 1680x1050
resolution. I'm a LaTeX freak and for the first time I can see two 800x1000
portrait windows that show me the source and a full page that don't overlap.

The screen real estate at 1680x1050 just seems a huge improvement over 1280x1024
