| I'll buy a new computer for music production in a month or two so I'm wondering if I should go for 19" monitor or 21". Will I have enough profit with 21" or should I just go for 19"? At the moment I have 15" LCD monitor, which is too small. (by the way, I use Fruity Loops) |

| 21" would be expensive. 19" LCDs are more affordable; you can find good ones for less than $400. |

Rather than having one large monitor you should go for several. I run 4 monitors, 2 17" and 2 15". That way I have plenty of room for everything. I usually run the sequencer on one of the 17"'s, Reason racks on the other 17", a real-time spectrum analyzer on one 15" and chat windows on the last one :)
So calculating price you should have 2 19". |

Would be nice to have two, yes. But that also means two graphic cards? |

Nah, all graphics cards have two outputs nowadays, even budget ones for like 50 bucks. |
