Can someone explain to me why screen size matters? I hear people all the time saying , oh you should have this video card if you got a 30" monitor, or you don't need that for 19".

As far as I know, screen size has nothing to do with it, just the resolution. I mean there are 1680x1050 in all ranges of screen sizes. Likewise 1920x1080 goes anywhere from 23" to 100"+.

I can see how there is a slight correlation in screen size and the resolution of the monitor, but it would jsut be easier to say what resolution are you playing at?

sorry, pet peeve of mine.
