  It's a 24" monitor.  Screenshot attached.  I'm migrating over to UZBL
as my web browser, if you wonder why it looks unfamiliar.  As per my
sig, I don't use a fancy DE.  I use ICEWM.  One nice feature is the
menu+launch bar which only pops up when I bring the mouse pointer to the
bottom of the screen.  The rest of the time it stays out of the way.  I
also have multiple workspaces, and keep related stuff open in their own
workspaces.

  Maybe what you're looking for is a "different type of 1440 monitor",
namely a 27" 2560x1440 display.  Drool.  Available from $600 and up at
Best Buy here in Toronto.  Probably significantly cheaper in the USA.
