CRT Televisions in the early 90s used to be 24inches and seemed sufficient, before the widescreen mammoths became a must-have for your living room (and then the plasmas and PS2s/3s/XBOXes became a must). Why the fuck do they increase monitor sizes, it's borderline impossible to find a 24inch 240hz monitor without going into surplus models from when the technology was just introduced.
This one is also 27", I just want to have a two-monitor setup @1080p and decent refresh rate without going to 25+ inch desk hogs. Fuck that noise, yo.
