1080p at 24 inches is usable but this is as big a screen as I would go with just 1080p

This can vary quite a bit with personal preference, but "recent" developments with Windows have made the downsides of high resolution displays easy to offset.

For some time I used a 32" 1080p LCD setup as it closely matched the effective dots/pixels per inch of my preferred configuration for a prior CRT. At the time, my Windows setup (XP and later Windows 7) lacked scaling functionality and 32" LCDs were eventually available at a killer price (sub-$300) for the amount of screen real estate they offered in addition to the massive return of desk real estate (vs. a 20" CRT running at 1152 by 864).

These days it is trivially easy to adjust the UI scaling in Windows [microsoft.com] to compensate for the native pixel size of a given monitor when driving it at the native resolution. This key functionality made it possible for me to make 4k screens on both desktop and my laptop usable (though to this day I still bump into Windows applications that don't handle UI scaling properly).

Good luck!
Jon

Do you remember what the max resolution on your 20" CRT was? I had a 19" before I went to LCD, I remember at my college (2002) my roommate had an LCD and it was nice but my resolution was noticeably better

This was the vertically flat 20" Sony Trinitron. A beautiful beast that is hilariously valued these days (but back then I basically gave it away). They could easily handle 1600x1200 and even up to 2048x1536 (basically 4x 1024x768). Of course, without scaling you needed eagle eyes to navigate Windows desktops at that setting.

My personal vision was a limiting factor as to what setting I found most comfortable at the chosen distance (which is why I had resolution cranked so "low").

Good luck!

Hard to remember. Would've been back when The Matrix was cool. My Amazon history confirms when I replaced it: June 2010 with a 32" 1080p LCD that went sub-$300.

Now if I'd held onto that ginormous monitor for 13 years I could be selling it for $1000 after having bought it secondhand for presumably near-nothing. Of course, the storage space demands were definitely non-zero and might've come close to the $6 a month it seems to have appreciated in that time. In my defense, the computer components which connected to that monitor are generally worthless.

Good luck!
Jon
