My point is getting the lowest resolution in widest monitor in the market. If there is 800 X 600 30" monitor, go grasp it for old man.
My new 24" monitor is having much smaller font than my 15" monitor which is more difficult to read news. Have to bear for trade-off between font size and movie size.

Some old monitors cannot support higher 1920X1200 resolution. Originally I was planning to use two monitors in different locations. Small one for reading news and email, and big one is solely for movie, but my old monitor is incapable to support high resolution. It's too troublesome to readjust resolution back and forth, so I decided to give my old monitor to my nephew.
Thanks for the tip. I've an ATI 4850 and output to a 22" Benq LCD via DVI and a SHARP LCD TV via HDMI.
I'm using the Sharp to watch movies. Currently it's very troublesome as i need to drag the apps over to the Sharp desktop, but since it's far away( about 12 feet or more), i can't see what i'm doing with the keyboard and mouse on that screen.

I read that you can actually clone the monitor via software, but only saw it for Nvida cards and XP. VISTA seems to have do away with the cloning features.
Now the problem...since i need HDMI for my Shapr and DVI for my Benq...how do i split???
