The 15&quot; is smaller then the 17&quot; measured diagonally from the upper left from the lower right. &nbsp;17&quot; is bigger and take more space the the 15&quot;. 2&quot; does make a big diffrence. &nbsp; You can compare the size of a monitor screen to a TV screen. &nbsp;It is exactly the same thing. &nbsp; Just picture yourself with a big screen TV and a small screen TV and decide what is best for you. &nbsp; I recommend a 17&quot; because you get more for your money. &nbsp;Having a bigger monitor is better for your eyes. &nbsp;Small monitors tend to make you squint at the text when typing, and it feels very unrealistic when playing games. <br />

&nbsp;There are also other things to considered when buying a monitor.<br />
<br />
I recommend...<br />
1.) at most a .28 (the distance between each pixel)- lower is better<br />
2.) refresh rate at least 60 mhz (better for your eyes so they don't get &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; tired)- higher is better<br />
3.) noninterlaced<br />
4.) antiglare coating<br />
<br />
As a personal note, I like a Sony monitor because of its quality in color, sharpness, and its long life. &nbsp;

The 15" is smaller then the 17" measured diagonally from the upper left from the lower right.  17" is bigger and take more space the the 15". 2" does make a big diffrence.   You can compare the size of a monitor screen to a TV screen.  It is exactly the same thing.   Just picture yourself with a big screen TV and a small screen TV and decide what is best for you.   I recommend a 17" because you get more for your money.  Having a bigger monitor is better for your eyes.  Small monitors tend to make you squint at the text when typing, and it feels very unrealistic when playing games.

Hardware

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
