I've been looking at wide 19" panels for a while. What kept me from buying one is that NONE of the available models come with a Class-I panel (zero defects) - they're all Class-II at least, which means you'll have to put up with up to seven dead subpixels.

Regarding the upgrade from 19W to 20W size: This more than doubles the cost, for not /that/ much extra real estate - one inch bigger, 1680x1050 instead of 1440x900. I'd rather buy two 19W monitors than one 20W ...

for the price the Viewsonic can't be beat. I've got one and it is an excellent monitor! I actually have 2 for this week. (babysitting one) so I'm running dual 19" widescreens
and HDCP is only useful for HD content from a Blueray or HD DVD drive. So it is unnecessary unless you plan to buy one of those drives. Personally I would wait until they become the standard. Then get a monitor that you know will be good. As of yet, there are so few HDCP complient monitors that the pickings are slim and are expensive!
