Yupp. I was considering the 19 inch Samsung 997DF that I saw at another TE members' place. It had a much sharper picture than the 798MB.
What kept me away from 19 inchers were.
1) Very heavy vs a 17 incher. A 17 incher is manageable w.r.t weight and can be easilt relocated around the house. A 19 incher might break your table if it's not strong and is a pain to get a proper hold of itself for moving around.
2) Occupies more desk space. I can barely keep my mouse on my table with my 17 incher.
3) Consumes more power.
4) More CRT radiation( I don't know to what extent but I don't fancy this fact).
5) Requires higher resolution for usage. Your gfx card would have to be capable of good frame rates at high resolutions. Also, I may be wrong here but movies seem smaller at higher resolutions. I guess they would looke even smaller at 1280X1024 thus necessitating the need for hi-def content.
