   The monitors I've seen at the store, trend towards the larger   
   sizes. I wanted to replace my 1440x900 monitor with another, but   
   there is nothing like that for sale. It is generally 1920x1080 minimum.   
   The next size would be 2560x1600, and after that comes 3840x2160.   
   And for that last 4K choice, you might want a 32" monitor to be using   
   that many pixels.   
      
   17", 19" probably not (check around Jan10 for stock of those in Staples)   
   22", 27", 32", bigger (1920x1080, 2560x1600, 3840x2160).   
      
   I don't really consider this "choice" any more. There are fewer choices   
   at least at retail stores. And online, a smaller monitor might be a   
   "special order".   
      
   Keep an eye out for the color. My new monitor, the color is off.   
   My 20 year old monitor still has good color, and that's how I   
   detected the new monitor was off. A gray might be rendered as a   
   light shade of purple.   
      
   And as for whether they make really really bad panels, they   
   save those for cheap laptops. 1366x768 panels, yes, they still   
   make those. And, they make those with 40% of the normal color range.   
   That would be a cheap twisted nematic (TN).   
      
   The standalone monitors are IPS (edge lit) and VA. The VA might be a   
   bit slower on GTG (gray to gray) time. The IPS has 178 degree viewing angle,   
   which means the intensity variation is 10:1 at 178 degrees or so.   
   Translated into English, that means you can move your head a little   
   bit from side to side, without a lot of color or intensity shift.   
   Whereas with a TN panel, the panel has to be tilted at just   
   the right angle, your head can only be in one spot, and then...   
   you can read it.
