I got a bigger screen last month which is 24", and I found that bigger doesn't mean better.
Watching movies and playing games on my 22" LCD gave me better focus, and I have a better "overall" view.
Since the monitors sat on my desk (typical computer desk), so I'm quite close to them. IMO the best size for monitor on the desk is 22".

What do you think?
