- I am also looking for a good 20" or 21" monitor.
- It seems that the bigger monitors don't do too well in
- terms of dot pitch. The bigger ones usually have a dot pitch of 0.31mm.
- I believe that this is due to the present state of video technology.
- Is this dot pitch acceptable for normal desktop work like doing graphics
- design and reading text, when you have to spend something like 8 hours
- looking at the monitor? Also, is there a good size and price trade-off point,
- ie for instance it may not be worth getting the last additional
- inch in display size, as you will have to pay a great deal more money.
-
- Also, any comments about the radiation hazards associated with the monitor
- as compared to a normal 14" monitor.
-
- Thanks.
