Check out Tom's Hardware Guide they have reviews of many LCD monitors.

Rokenn beat me to it. Definitly go to Tom's Hardware and do yourself a BIG favor and read their latest inquiry into LCD monitor manufacturers. It is an eye opener for sure.

I got a 15 inch TFT Advent with my PC and its awesome, they are pretty cheap now and its not that small considering with most normal monitors alot of the width is hidden behind the casing.

I've read in several reports that CRT monitors are still much better for games than LCD monitors. AFAIK, some LCD monitors have trouble with different screen resolutions.

These are the things to look at: 0.258mm pixel pitch 1920 x 1200 resolution 48-85Hz vertical frequency 29-82kHz horizontal frequency 200 nits brightness
