zero4zero, thats a great little write up and will help out a lot, thanks. It sounds like to get a good monitor, something that fits all or most of the things specified, its gonna cost a lot of money. Either way, i am gonna stick with my CRT for now, see if i can sell my old comp after i transfer all my files, and then with the money i make i will use that to buy the LCD screen.
BTW, i am getting a 6600GT with DVI, s-video, and VGA out, so it should work with all monitors.
