Jeff is correct.
I like the 19" 4:3 because the images are larger at 1280x1024.
Your eyes play tricks on you in the store. It's not until you get it home and live with it for awhile that you see the weaknesses, if any.
Some monitors have an On Screen Display for the menu, and you cycle through with some of the monitors buttons to get to both brightness and contrast.
If it doesn't have onscreen adjustment, you're usually limited to brightness only, unless you make you're own color profile.
For non-critical work, you can use "shades" (versiontracker or macupdate), a freeware app that lest you cut brightness way down.
What do you mean by "obvious" pixels? Stuck pixels? Or it's easy to see the pixels rather than the picture? Sometimes monitors in stores aren't displayed at native resolution and give a softer picture.
