Large screen monitors for public computers

[Dan Lester]

Hi Bill,

We have a couple of 21 inch monitors in our public area.  In addition
to being helpful for the visually impaired (which includes me, I have
a 21 in office and at home), they're great for when a librarian is
showing a small group of students something at one time (you know, the
two or three students working together on a project, etc.).

We buy Micron PCs so we get Micron monitors.  Unless you get
(unnecessarily) high end with Sony Trinitrons or something, I think
that whatever brand you normally use will be just fine.  That is based
on comments from others that I know with large monitors.  If you're
worried, try to look at one in operation in a store or somewhere.
