Please help me choose a monitor

I am planning on purchasing a monitor around $300. When trying to purchases a monitor for multitabling should I be looking at resolution more than size? I have found a 20 inch with 1600 by 1200 resolution and also a 24 inch with 1600 by 1080 resolution. What should I get?

I use a 20 Dell with 1600x1200 and couldnt be happier. Out of curioisty - where are you finding these monitors at that price range?

I thought I could find a 24" for $300, unfortunately I couldn't. My two options are
1. A 22" wide screen with 1680 by 1050 resolution
2. 20.1" full screen with 1600 by 1200 resolution

Keep in mind that when I multitable sometimes I get up to 16 tables going at once.

If it's not too much trouble can you explain why?

CHeapest way to get 1600x1200 resolution. Since your tables will be 800x600 by default, this works out nicely. Even if you resize them, if you shrink them to half, you'll be able to fit 16 exactly.
