Yeah.  The 15" 1680x1050 is a laptop, so I can only place it as far away
as the keyboard (work doesn't have any USB keyboards for me to grab, and
I haven't broken down and bought my own for work yet).  The 22" display
is 32-36 inches away from me.

But the really stunning difference was comparing 20" and 22" next to
each other.  It was really worth the extra money to get the 22"
display. 

For linux higher resolution still would be nice, but for OSX I am pretty
happy with 1680x1050.

For Irix, I still have a 20" CRT running at 1280x1024.

The last time I had a 19" and 17" monitors next to each other, they were
both CRTs.  I ran the 17" at 1024x768 at that time, I think.  For that
reason I certainly prefered the 19" one.
