17" or 19"

[jdow]

Please excuse me for being picky here. Contrast ratio is not nearly
as important as color tracking if color fidelity is important to the
user. I'd look for good reviews on the two

Somebody who is spending all her time in Eclipse developing non-graphics
software a higher contrast ratio might reduce fatigue. But if the
person is using graphics a lot and visual fidelity is important I'd
recommend finding a site on the web that reviews monitors for their
various colorimitry factors. (And a gamer might want to check for
reviews that are gamer related.)
