Remember, LCD monitors have <b>native resolutions</b> so pick the resolution you prefer to work at, and get the appropriate LCD.

Four LCDs that I would suggest you look into, organized by price (cheapest first).
<li><a href=http://www.planar.com/monitors/PV174.asp>Planar 17.4"</a>
<li><a href=http://www4.tomshardware.com/display/02 ... l>Hercules ProphetView 720</a> 1024x768
<li><a href=http://www.viewsonic.com/products/lcd_v ... >ViewSonic VG191B</a> 1280x1024
<li><a href=http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/prod ... shed=>Dell 2000FP</a> 1600x1200

I was recently in the position to get a new monitor and I really wanted an LCD, but I have been using a 21" monitor at 1600x1200 for about 4 years. The Dell LCD was the one I wanted, but it wasn't worth $1200+ to me. The ViewSonic was still a couple hundred more than a CRT, and not quite as high of a resolution. I ended up getting the black Dell 22" Monitor with the Sony Trinitron tube. It looks very nice and I'm happy with it, but I can't wait until LCD prices come down a bit more! :grin:
