They think "Why do I need a 20 inch monitor when a 17 inch is fine and cheaper"
Apple might even be losing sales due to not having a small monitor available with their desktop computers. Someone might think "Well that Apple computer would be nice but it is pretty expensive and I don't need a monitor that big" Then go for a cheaper Dell with a 15" or 17" monitor.

My father (in his 50's) recently bought an HP desktop because it was cheap. It came with a 15" LCD. I asked my dad about it, wondering why he settled for such a small monitor (comparing it to my 20" LCD at the time) and his response was something along the lines of "It work's fine for me".

When I upgraded to a 24" widescreen lcd he said "I just don't see why someone would want a monitor that big"]]>Nov 28th 2006 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/Nov 28th 2006 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/Nov 28th 2006 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/Nov 28th 2006 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/
Also, the "non-technical older folk" in my office love their huge 20" screens. They blow everything up to irritatingly high levels. 800 x 600 even.

Finally, the budget conscious typically fall off the low end of Apple's radar.]]>Nov 29th 2006 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/viewsonic-apple-readying-17-inch-widescreen-monitors/Nov 28th 2006 5:38PM
