...you notice that SVP are selling refurbished 16" widescreen LCD monitors for 34 and 35 quid and your first thought is that they're too small to be useful.

I started out with a ZX81 on a 12" TV, I think I was on my third computer when I got a 14" monitor, didn't get to 17" in the late nineties. Now I'm thinking that my 22" widescreen is possibly a bit too small...

Anyway, may be useful to someone who wants a cheap small screen for some reason

There are some new short throw projectors with astonishingly short throws, basically you put them at the base of the wall/screen you want to project onto. Not cheap however.
I've got two 17" LCD's at home, considering replacing the regularly used one with a 22" wide-screen, but I'll wait until ebuyer.com are making me an offer too good to refuse. The other 17" is currently used with my laptop when I'm working from home. That one cost me £40 plus postage from eBay second-hand.

22" widescreen on my working computer, 40" TV on the one I use for downloads, and a 15" screen on the laptop. Oh, and a 6.3" letterboxed 640 x 240 screen on my PDA, but let us not go there, it is a silly place...
