Default Size, bad monitors and bad reviews

1. I've decided on a 24" but I'm having second thoughts that it will be too big. What do you guys think?

2. The cheapest place where I can buy the monitors I want is through this website, but I am worried that when it arrives it will have 1 or a few dead pixels and it won't qualify to get replaced. I'm not sure how warrenty works but I think you need at least a number of pixels for it to happen and it will propbably take long.

3. Even though there are some great monitors on the market there won't be one without a negative review. I've been reading some for the Samsung T240, the monitor I plan on buying and I see stuff like, dead pixels, being brighter at the top, fuzzy screen, etc. Are these just unlucky people? About 5-10% reviews say this but then again if you are happy with your monitor you would be too busy enjoying it to write a review.

thx

There's no such thing as a monitor that's to big.
Call them up and ask
User reviews are useless.

I love my 24". Would only give it up for multy

warranties are harder with some net places. The bigger they are and the more you pay the better they are. But at bets it involves more shipping.

Trust reviews give or linked on this sight not places like new egg.
