Yes!

No!

When I got my wide screen, I got a 24 inch. They are a little pricey,
but one thing I wanted was not to lose any height on my monitor. I had a
19 inch square monitor. I wanted a wide screen monitor that was at least
as tall as the 19 inch. Most of what I do is tall (perl scripts, web
development/browsing) so buying a wide screen monitor with fewer pixels
in height didn't make sense.

I'd love a 30 inch, but they cost 3 times what I paid for the 24 inch. I
couldn't justify the difference in price.
