It is both a question of monitor size and resolution. Most ordinary people (read non-geeks) use 17" screens, but the resolution used depends on eyesight.
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

No more true words have been spoken. I have users who use 19" screens @ 1024x768 and LARGE fonts..... It is like using a kiddies pc..... It is so warped and large I can't help but reset the resolution while I work in their machines, it is no wonder some of them take about 5 min to find an email in their inbox...... :|

Back to the original question, I use 1600x900 on a 20inch Samsung 2033SW Plus.
