Yeah, I believe I said less then 23" because most monitors below that don't have the resolution to display 1920x1080 resolution Blu-Ray. It would be a little small to care so much about the resolution I'm getting there too as ocswing mentions. I love ripping my Blu-Rays as they play without all the menus instantly and are less of a hassle then messing with discs and waiting the long waiting times. I wouldn't mind a screen close to me as I regularly did with other desktops and laptops in the past, but its nice to have the desk space in front cleared for projects, papers, and not messing with my speaker's sound. I was tempted by the 21.5" dell IPS touchscreen for up close work, but couldn't justify it. I do watch Netflix at night before bed sometimes on my Droid X, so the small size up close doesn't really bother me, so much either. I really like being able to see and make out everything in the picture though on the monitor, hated how much strain I put on my eyes trying to make out things happening in the shadows. It was a bummer dealing with that just after building a serious PC.
I completely get your point about pixel density. I have a 46" LCD in the main room that I use with an old computer as a HTPC watching movies and listening to the full sized tower speakers that I would hate having to use for browsing the internet or typing a document. Stand a few feet away from it and the pixel size is obvious and distracting enough that I would never recommend one as a main computer monitor.
