How much of a price difference are you looking at between the monitors?

I'd suggest the higher reso (1920X1080). I got a large monitor and I have not looked back. Also, what kind of video card (or system spec) do you have?

 To really be honest, if it isn't a big price difference and you can fit it, get the bigger monitor.

Well for watching movies I'd get the 1080p monitor but for gaming probably the 20" display since y ou have a mid-range card.

Hmm I would go with the larger monitor since movies will look great on it and if you really need to turn down the res for games then you can.

the size of the monitor doesn't make a performance difference but the resolution does so if your card can handel than go for a 1080p screen the " doesn't make difference in the fps

If you magically have an HDTV around, you could simply use that for 1080 movies on top of having a monitor for yourself for gaming.

When people lose sight, they pray for better vision. Even though the path of ignorance was their choice, they believe it to be an outer entity like karma or bad luck - in thus believing an outer cause will cure it. You want change? Stop throwing dirt in your eyes to attain mercy for looking weak.
