Re: LCD monitors

I have considered buying a 21" bigger monitor for some time, but instead have stuck to 2x 19" LCD. 17" and 19" LCD's are very good, and you can dual monitor wiht them for less than it would cost to buy most 21+ monitors.

If you want to spend a few bucks, the SGI 1600SW are gorgeous 17" monitors, with native 1600x1200 resolution, but they are expensive, and can only be purchased on e-bay or similar (but, WOW on picture quality).

If I have money to spend, I get viewsonic or NEC stuff, it has always worked well for me. Dells are also good.

At the cheaper end, Princeton and Rosewill work, but tend to have higher latency/fewer features.

Finally, I love Newegg.com.
