Yeah its great, just the right size OMHO, you can model/animate etc, with the maya interface and have the reference there too. without it being too large and moving about a lot (vision wise).

Toyed with having another monitor there but you really don't need it.

26 @ 1920 x 1200 perfect size, for me anyway, got one at work and at home.

Ive also got a laptop that has the same res the monitor on that is really good, but its a different topic.
