Agreed, it depends what you are using the PC for. My development PC
has a 17" IDEK (great monitor, clear picture, etc...) and needs at
least this with the amount of Windows used by most development tools.
The other PC (used for Word processing, accounts, etc) has a 15" Sony
SF2 and is ideal for this application. 

If you are looking for a 15" monitor then I can highly recommend the
Sony, slightly more expensive than the others (~300UKP) but has a
great quality picture (even better than my 17" IDEK). Highly
recommended, since quality is even more important when displaying high
resolution on a smaller screen.

Cheers,
Simon
