I think the sweetspot is now at 19". My wife, who uses her PC mostly
for email, has a 19", and it wasn't expensive (albeit not a top brand).
I've got a 21" one (and am running the 1600x1200 mentioned). I think
17" ones are about the smallest one can buy nowdays (other than for LCD
flatpanels).
"Shrinking icons", etc, can be a problem sometimes (in Adobe Golive
in particular), but it's also the reason to run the higher resolution.
Doing so "fits" more things on the screen at once.
