I have to decide which monitor(s) buy with my new dell sytem.

I am going to use it mainly for graphics (3D studio, illustrator, corel, photoshop, etc).

Which is the better choice:

-buy two UltraSharp ones 19" and 17" or one 20" (2001FP or 2005FP Wide)

What is the main advantage between Wide and ordinary one 20" monitor?

I will deeply appreciate any helpful suggestion.
Thank you in advance.

Using two 1280×1024 monitors you have one screen for your designs and another for the tools.

If you have one 1600×1200 20" screen and use the same 1280×1024 window for the design, you have to distribute the tools on the 320 pixel wide strip on the side and on a 176 pixel high strip o the top or bottom.

Using a wide (1920×1200) pixel monitor the side strip becomes 640 pixels wide.

What is the main advantage between Wide and ordinary one 20" monitor?

More space on the sides for palettes, tools, windows if you have the same main window size as on a regular screen.

Be careful with wide screens – they tend do have a lower number of vertical pixels than their size suggests.

20" (normal) usually provides 1600×1200, 20" (wide) often is 1920×1024.

Thank you Michael,

Concerning you knowledge, which option would you prefer: one wide screen or two smaller (17 and 19)?

If space doesn’t matter, get the two smaller ones. They still offer more screen space.
