I recently purchased a new 24" Aluminum iMac and I am loving it. However, I am now in the process of shopping for a second display to sit beside it. I have grown accustom to having one from my job and now I desire one at home. The glossy screen on the iMac however is making my shopping experience all the more difficult.

I'm looking for ~22" screen, two inchs either way is fine with me.

1) How important is it for the second display to be glossy? Does some one have experience with 1 glossy and 1 matte screen running together? Am I going to hate looking at the non glossy second display because of how much better the iMac looks?

2) What's your feeling on one monitor running at 1920x1200 and the other at 1680x1050? It's at least $500 bucks for a monitor capable of 1900x1200! I don't want to pay that.

3) Do you have a suggestion for my second monitor?

Any other information that I may find useful would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all the help.

Jack
