17" is the standard issue monitor these days. 1024xwhatever or so seems to be about the default resolution with those monitors, although some people so step it down to 800x600.
Rather than increasing in size, many people are moving to LCD monitors instead of CRTs.
My 17 inch secondary monitor is set to 1280x1024 without issues... the 20 inch is set to 1600x1200 (the smaller monitor does email, video display, and ftp work). When I first set it up it felt slightly small, but now when I use my laptop at 800x600, I feel like I am sitting way too close to the screen.
