My first question is, does anyone know of any 17'' flat screen monitor that is good for gaming, meaning it doesn't ghost and can reproduce colors fairly well? Should I just go with a CRT if I plan on increasing the resolution? My last quick question is: Is there any difference between two 74k WD Raptor HD's and 2 36k WD HD's other than storage capacity? Thanks for any help!
Two questions, got any ideas?

IMHO non-flatscreen monitors are best for gameplay

They are brighter for Gameplay; which is handy. But they are big too. A TFT which is bright for gaming would have to be a Plasma or High-Res LCD Television-style Monitor; but they're expensive. Very expensive.
Problem is for people, like myself who like large Resolutions (1280x1024) TFTs at 19" and up; often from 17" and up are of dreadful expense.

Yeah, it would be.
Bluto has a point; if theres one peripheral you want to get right and spare no expensive on its a Monitor. If you have a crap monitor doens't matter how good a mouse, keyboard or computer you have - its not going to seem good.

In a monitor, you will always reap the benifits - be it TFT or CRT - of buying a more expensive one. Just go as high as your budget will allow; and try and get one on an offer or something like that.
