I have a Samsung SyncMaster 931BW that i stayed up all night for at best buy, $129, usually $250. 19" widescreen, 2ms response rate, 700:1 contrast ratio, 1440x900. The picture is simply amazing, the colors jump out, contrast is great, utterly destroys my previous crt. If you pick a resolution that matches the aspect ratio of the monitor, it won't squish anything lol. Anyhow, I highly recomend getting a samsung lcd.
