I wanted a smaller one, but being too big is the only thing that makes it usable since I can't set the resolution at all. I mainly use 2 monitors for work, and for that it is fine BECAUSE for some reason the connection to the work system SHRINKS everything, which I have to correct by setting my monitors' resolution very low! Which my low setting on my old monitor comes close to matching the new monitor. For personal use it is still handy to have things open on separate monitors, and the new one is usable but not satisfactory when not connected to the work system. I WAS TOLD IN THE STORE THAT GEEK SQUAD IS BACKED UP FOR WEEKS AND I WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE ANYTHING AT ALL WITH THEM EVEN WEEKS AHEAD. I consider this a bad purchase but it is useful for work and marginally better than only one monitor outside of work. Images below: the SCREENSHOTS apparently show the picture from its data, that is NOT how it looks on the new monitor. The How It Looks photo taken with my cell phone shows how the picture actually looks. Things like email and browsers, the windows come up not fitting on the screen, can't get at sliders or controls, can't fit much text in the window.
