Tonight, I had my old faithful hanspree monitor die on me, and I just don't have the steady hands to replace the capacitors in it , like I used to do when they went out. Now my wife, has been on me for a year or two now, to also replace our TV's in the house, as we still have those 36" 40,000 lb beasts from the 80's. (I'm the cheapest guy on Earth) , but now that I need a monitor, well hell, That changes everything. :P

So, I've pretty much made up my mind, on the Brand, It will be an Element TV, as I found out they are manufactured here in the US, and the reviews on them seem to be pretty good. But here lies my questions.

Since my set up will have 4 accounts on one screen, and my Main on the old 24", should I push to make sure the TV is 1080p @ 1920x1080 , and still be able to read the text , or should I go lower @ 1366x768 720p?

I'm no spring chicken anymore to say the least, so any savings on the eyes are a good thing. This is why I want to find out ahead of time, as Problems with hearing also mean, the TV must be large enough for me to read closed captions.

If there is anything I may be missing, Or if there is another brand that has obvious advantages, please let me know. It's been years since I bought such a thing, and back then it was those old huge things. The one time I hooked my PC up to an old 50" plasma, it looked like crap, with a resolution of like 640x480.

Thanks Oh grand and wonderful Forum denizens. Your help is greatly appreciated.
