As far as monitors go... (in my opinion) the bigger the better.
Our broadcast online and color correction suite has 3 monitors.
- 2 Apple Cinema Displays 23' each
- 1 broacast HD monitor
You can use Color with 1 computer monitor and 1 broadcast monitor. The loss of real state will be on the UI side. I like the separation of all of Color panels into two monitors.
For the broadcast monitor, I say go as big as you possibly can. I think 17' is too small for color correction, so a 20' would be the start point for an HD CRT. If you go LCD or have the budget for a used HD CRT, I would definately go for a 24'.
This sounds more like car rims than monitors...! :-)
Hope this helps you a little....
