It's widescreen (great for editing, and seeing lots of mixer channels at once), and doesn't take up too much room between the monitors (far less in width than my two 17s, and just a couple inches more in height). Okay, for more money I could have bought a better quality screen, but size wise it's spot on - to be honest even quality wise, I'm in front of mine for about 10 hours a day tracking mixing and editing on Cubase and it's been great to work with for the past year or so.
For price and performance 23" and 24" monitors are a great way to go... Really big screens but not super expensive these days and at 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 they look great
Obviously if you wanna go bigger than go for it.. but I think $200 - $250 is a good price range
