Nice but currently 100~120% on top of the cost of a 19inch monitor, hard
to justify....$1050 on a 20 inch monitor or $450 for a 19, with $600
left for a new graphics card..no contest really....

Don't forget that according to Woger CRT's are complete junk (tm)

My 22" NEC Multisync is around AU$1500 new (although I only payed
AU$169 for my near new one!), but the closest LCD I could find to
that size and resolution (2048x1536) was around US$5000...

Woger never answered me on that. Who knows? Maybe he sells LCD's
for a living...he'll never convince me they're a better option
until they actually do become a better option...

That thought did occur to me.

A 22" CRT! Envious. But getting back to LCDs I don't know exactly
what they mean when they talk about 'sparkling' when watching DVDs.

Like you I won't be getting one until they are actually better. But I
wonder about the Dell 2407WFP widescreen as June's PC User mag gave it
a glowing review but users don't seem so convinced.

It seems you have to make sure you get a later revision.

LOL normally I would not buy dell but in the arena of LCD they seem to
know what they are doing. They have been compared with the apple
cinimorph (forgive the spelling).

Now looking at the products in the stores I have seen the same LCD look
wonderful and crap this was a 17" one I guess a lots depends on what
it is connected to and how well set up it is. On a interesting note I
saw a 17" wide screen for around 400~500 $$$ that out preformed a near
$1000 name brand screen... I am holding my breath as I am on my last
good screen (CRT 15") the 17" and 19" bit the dust.

Response time. Rapid movements in video showed evident ghosting
and blurry appearance.

Not something I experience with even budget CRT monitors...

Is that the Dell 3007WFP? Does 11ms (or 14ms?) response time cut it?
My eyes say they're getting better, but CRT still wins...

I found this site tonite that has some interesting prices...

http://www.streetprices.com/Electron.../Monitors/LCD/

That has a range of sizes to see. Prices start pretty low, but most of
the cheapies don't do the resolutions I'd demand of their panel size.
Try find a 21" that does 2048x1536 without spending upwards of US$4400.

As much as I like the small footprint, style, and ease of carriage of
these LCD panels I would like the resolution and quality to improve
and become significantly cheaper before I'd consider getting one.
