You might regret getting a 16" monitor that doesn't have 1024x768.
As graphics standards become more "standard" applications (and games?)
will be using higher resolutions.

Have you considered the NEC 4D?  They just dropped the price on this
beauty, and I've seen it selling under $899.  It is non-interlaced
at 1024x768, got Editor's Choice in PC Magazine, has front-mounted
controls, memory-recall for auto-centering different resolutions,
and is a .28dpi 16" monitor.

No...I set even my 14" monitor 3-4 feet away from me.  Do you also
watch TV with the screen 2 ft. away?   :)
