I use a 17" LCD with 1280*1024 resolution, it's not a problem at all. If
things appear to small, just increase the text size. It just means
better place on the screen

I'm not an expert on the subject, but the pixel size would be a good
guess. If you have a 17" with 1024*768 native resolution the pixels
would be too large and the picture would seem blurry anyways. Not as bad
as when you reduce the resolution from the screens native, but still not
good.

A 17" with 1024x768 native res. would not seem blurry but
the opposite, pixelated (if examined closely rather than at
a distance).

IMO, if OP wants larger then the obvious choice is a 19"
LCD.
